You don’t see how the changes in legislation Snowden caused point America in the direction of being a more ethical country? Oh wait, you’re right, that’s not a beneficial change for America if the American powers-that-be don’t care if their actions are criminal or unconstitutional.
But seriously, you don’t think the world-wide revelation that the US was committing mass privacy violations, or the revelation that our government lies/covers up unconstitutional/criminal behavior was a major change? It speaks volumes about you if you don’t think exposing tyrannical behavior is a benefit to Americans.
Legislation doesn’t mean anything to extrajudicial surveillance. They gonna do what they gonna do. The world knows and knew all about it all along. US surveillance and intelligence had been an open secret since the Patriot Act.
All that resulted from it was Putin got a nice puppet.
