  I didn’t say he had no impact. It’s just that most people are idiots and are ignorant or apathetic to his cause.

    But those people all use https now, because the people who control the services they use redirected 80 to 443 for the sites they run.

    It doesn’t matter if people are ignorant or apathetic, because they all got a security upgrade by doing nothing. Thanks to Snowden.

      I don’t understand. That’s literally exactly what I wrote. I just didn’t know about the https aspect, which… acknowledged. My point stands, what he did was right regardless of the difference it made in the end.
