At the very least, privacy practices have evolved dramatically since Snowden affair. Everyone uses end-to-end encryption now, a website without https is now eyebrows-raising. So while government spying probably didn't reduce, there is a lot less they can do now.

Why did he have to throw away a normal, comfortable life with good pay for constant anxiety and uncertainty to expose something to the citizens of the world - when the citizens of the world don't even want to stop watching Netflix to do something about this issue?
