The Privacy Thread

[Rosencrantz]

My only concern right now is that Snowden singlehandedly damaged a bunch of US relations due to his leaks on our lack of privacy. Like, it's one thing if he exposed the surveillance stuff as a means of getting the public's attention on privacy breaches, but he's also caused a ton of trust issues with the US and China, Hong Kong, Russia, Ecuador, and (most recently) Germany and France and the rest of the European Union with the wild goose chase and additional leaking.

I just don't want to see us enter another Cold War because of this.
