Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero?

There are a lot of comments here saying “it’s tragic because no-one cared”, but that is misleading as there is now a strong privacy movement l.

I think, without Snowden blowing the whistle, anti-privacy laws would not face such stiff competition.

Yes we’re all fighting a rearguard retreat, but without Snowden’s sacrifice there would be no rearguard and there would be abject surrender rather than retreat.
