Good Lord people. Get on with your lives!

It could possibly be worse. The typical response is something like yours, but there's the outside chance they'll pile on more charges for a longer prison sentence. That's good for the economy because the US has many privately run prisons to fill.

Thanks for sharing that. Absolutely fascinating and chilling.

Medium is for writers who don't know how to brand. Medium essentially takes all the credit, traffic and recognition. And the writers seem to like that, weirdly enough.

I'm not so sure. If Germany doesn't get honest information on the true scale and intention of US spying, they know Snowden will have answers. This is a matter of national security for Germany.

For Germany, this is like discovering their "friendly neighbor" across the street is a peeping tom. The relationship is already compromised.

Snowden is a symbol and a sign of the future.

If the US government gets their hands on Snowden, and gets their way, I am absolutely certain America will plunge into an even darker era of deception and thought control.

Even now, most Americans are too brainwashed to care.

That's unfair. Wikileaks got involved because they wanted to help. Things haven't worked out as planned.

HN readers are so fickle. The biggest wafflers on the internet. You will find no loyalty here.

I personally value my privacy and liberty over a few additional nanoseconds of waiting, or what might be not as refined results.

This article isn't insightful or original, only pathetic. The attitude shows you how many in the US are unwilling to make even the tiniest sacrifice to preserve a human right like not having all you information surveyed, recorded and stored for Big Brother to use against you.

Sad.

In regards to Snowden, these aren't leaks but whistleblowing on worldwide privacy and human rights violations.
