    What? Who cares? What fallout has there been at all from Snowden’s whistleblowing? Who was punished? What powers were removed? What laws were created or removed?

      Yeah, I would use Snowden as an example in the opposite column.

      Sometimes I wonder if people have conflated coverage with results, like how people are still demanding the release of the epstein files and not the heads of the people already implicated in what was released so far. Snowden, the panama files, ect. did not have the effect that should be expected. Like yeah the governments spying on you, and then instead of doing anything us people just rolled over and bought a new Iphone.
