When someone stands up for so many people, this is the expected outcome. Unfortunately, it's doubtful that the government will take much of this into account given how badly they were exposed--they will more than likely make an example out of Snowden in such a way that no one is encouraged to do something like this again.

Also, it's not "0.03% of the population" that agree with this. Only the ones that (a) know about the petition and (b) took time to sign it.
