[edit: the downvotes aren't warranted...] Aren't email and phone calls monitored anyhow since they're not encrypted (by default)? Why wouldn't the three-letter

  If the three-letter agency would be the only one invading our privacy that would be a lot better already; Of course this is not the case, many companies are invading our privacy for commercial reasons, they sell our personal data for their own financial profit (Google, Linkedin, Facebook, etc.)

    Of course I won't contest that, but Snowden's revelations did nothing to change that knowledge. We have always known private companies keep all the data they can get their hands on and use it to sell ads.

    The companies that publish policies and give you control over the "invasion" of privacy, up to and including not interacting with them. The saintly three-letter agencies simply consider all the information their right to take. I have a hard time seeing your point of view in light of that reality.

      what i meant was that i agree with what @readhn said; i think many people (around me) have become more privacy aware because of Snowdens disclosures, which i think is a good development, even though no matter how hard they try they are still not protected, and probably never will be, from three-letter agencies collecting their data...
