Other members have already pointed out that you haven't stated any specifics, so I won't repeat that. I'm curious as to why you felt that Snowden hasn't strengthened what you call "people power"? Do you really think there was any way he could have alerted Americans and the rest of the world to the scale of government spying by being "responsible"? This when senior government officials thought nothing of lying outright to lawmakers and judges - people who are supposed to act as a check on government power? I'd really like to hear what you feel might have been a more responsible version. I also did read your linked comment about living under the Taiwanese dictatorship. You say: >> I assumed that all my postal mail, domestic or foreign, was read by the ruling party's secret police as part of the delivery process Decades later we have democratic governments around the world doing the same - reading and storing all our electronic communications - instead of dictatorships. And we know this thanks to Snowden.
