In my experience, it was almost the opposite. The Snowden revelations illustrated how imperfect the NSA's coverage actually was compared to our prior speculation, and that they had some semblance of decency with regards to handling data.
Of course, I have my doubts that said decency holds at higher levels, and I'm sure it greatly depends on how important you are.
So unless you're a legitimate surveillance target such as a terrorist, politician, investigative journalist, or EFF attorney, you likely have nothing to fear.

- pizza234 12y agoThe NSA is essentially unaccountable for whatever it does; there's no decency in this. I hope that the assumption that investigate journalists and EFF attorneys are "legitimate" targets is highly ironic.
- rl3 12y agoI figured the sarcasm was self-evident having put terrorist as the first item on the list. In retrospect, perhaps I should have not edited out the /s tag.
