I’m responding to the claim that Americans did nothing. It might be the case that there is illegal government surveillance going on today, but there is no evidence for that in any leaks, particularly not Snowden’s. If there is illegal government surveillance that we learn about later, the takeaway from the Snowden saga is that Americans will take action to shut it down.
They literally sued the U.S. government and shut down the only program that was collecting Americans’ data. https://www.cohenandwolf.com/publication-nsa-phone-metada
and this is why the gov doesn’t spy on its ciizens anymore and everyone lived happily ever after… my sweet summer child
