The strategy one employs to deal with being punished for revealing wrongdoing has nothing to do with how "genuine" the activism is. To suggest that Snowden, who has given up his life to alert humanity to the worst surveillance program in the world's history, isn't a "genuine" activist is, frankly, ridiculous.
- tome 13y ago> the worst surveillance program in the world's history "worst" in scale, certainly. What other criteria is it "worst" on?

Surveillance depth will likely get much worse in the future, however, as they strongarm more companies into baking surveillance capabilities into mass-market devices (although they'll be competing, in this regard, with foreign manufacturers who will be/are also doing the same thing). http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2012/03/petraeus-tv-remote/ http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2012/03/petraeus-tv-remote/
