I disagree. Then you narrow down Snowden's point in a pedantic way. Snowden is broadly speaking about privacy. The issue about government mass surveillance is of course without anybody having been aware of its extent. Citizens should have been given the chance to weight in on the usage of surveillance. But this is along much of the same lines, in that it shows how technology enables ways of invading your privacy that you might not have thought of. Much of the NSA invasion of our privacy is about the capabilities they get through technology. With just a bunch of dead data, it would not nearly be as chilling as when Snowden explains how they can perform sophisticated searches through all data stored about you.
