- Before Snowden, if you spoke about these issues, you were dismissed as paranoid.
- After Snowden, if you dismiss these issues, you are dismissed as hopelessly naive...
Oh, also - considering all this - you can bet that Intel's Management Engine has likely been backdoored by the NSA, so using Intel's processors is not recommended, especially if you're a non-US company... (industrial espionage !)

This is a good article. Everyone has forgotten how much has changed since Snowden.
Actually, nothing changed Some Laws was created. Some revelations was made. But even manipulations with elections did not kill any company
Don't be so defeatist.
Snowden's revelations proved once again that conspiracies are all false, because it is literally impossible for large numbers of people to keep their mouth shut. Exactly as we're told on forums, exactly as we're told on TV. This is how you know Epstein is also innocent and why it won't be investigated, because we know people cannot keep silent about committing crimes, therefore we know no crimes were committed.
Many conspiracies were true until 1 person opened his mouth, what's next? When will someone final admit to 9/11 being an inside job? We are just at a pre-Snowden/whistle-blower stage regarding 9/11.

> Some of the top-level indicators are surprisingly healthy. HTTPS adoption has taken off like a rocket, driven in part by Google’s willingness to use it as a signal for search rankings — and the rise of free Certificate Authorities like LetsEncrypt. It’s possible that these things would have happened eventually without Snowden, but it’s less likely.
> End-to-end encrypted messaging has also taken off like a rocket, largely due to adoption by WhatsApp and a host of relatively new apps. It’s reached the point where law enforcement agencies have begun to freak out, as the slide below illustrates.
The engineering and technology culture around security and product development has certainly changed. The IETF even adopted "Pervasive Monitoring Is an Attak"[1] as a best current practice.

I’ve been telling people for years, but nobody listened.
Now everyone knows it’s true, but still nobody seems to care…
Isn't the practice of the NSA just plainly treason? And why would it not be?
No, it isn't plainly treason. This is the definition of treason: Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. Did the NSA levy war against the US? Did the NSA give aid & comfort to the…
The US or the people of the US?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Alright, it doesn't fit here then. But isn't the behavior treasonous towards the constitution that forbids arbitrary data collection. I think their defense here is that nobody actively looks at the data. I think this is bullshit.
Treason would not be the word I choose. Illegal maybe?

Let's Encrypt brought TLS to the masses, browsers are bringing focus to sites still not using transport encryption, https is a signal for Google ranking. Don't be so defeatist.
Sure, they might not be able to listen in on those https connections, but if they wanted to attack/listen to this Joe Smith over here, they are more than capable, and still do it.

And for one more sentance, that is a work of pure genius: “Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.” And how the world is changing, from GDPR to California privacy law... I would just love to shake hand to this guy.
