I definitely agree with Snowden's call to action with making spyware illegal, I think the execution is plausible but unlikely for the same reasons he stated in the article. Every country is working to produce these things themselves for cyber security self defense. I am unsure about his comments regarding unsafe code. Like many of the people have already stated here, that's a blurry line that has good intention but seems nearly impossible. I think more regulation and certification for both employees and companies is a much more likely to be successful.
