Reply to comment by respectprivacysucka in eli5 What came of Edward Snowden leaking all of that classified intel? by tpb772000

I did see that and my cousin who fought in Iraq did not want to believe it but knew better that some people over there go on power trips.

And a lot of them are young . I hate to say it as an excuse but they almost, kinda, don't know any better besides "let's fuckin' kill the enemy" and they don't even know why.

I did wanna say that when the PRISM program was exposed, me and a few of my tech friends did become more privacy/security oriented. (Hence the name haha) And I think in general a lot of folk became more privacy focused.

If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend the film "The Card Counter."
