So, you would believe Snowden's statements on the bad, but not on the optimistic?
Yeah, I can be critical on what I believe and don't have to take anybody's word wholesale.
That sais, what I believe are the leaked documents, that haven't really been disputed and if anything were corroborated by tons of subsequent stories.
For the 'optimistic' stuff: Snowden doesn't have access to Google/Apple/FB etc, so what steps he says that they've taken since are the same stuff reported in the media that we too know.
And those steps are nothing to write home about. I see the same shit going on as usual -- only even more so.

Good points man. Sorry you feel that way. I'm an ever optimist.
I call BS on that.
What are the steps FB, Google, Apple etc have taken "in the right direction".
If anything it's only gonna get worse, what with expanding to the "Internet of Things" and such (not to mention future possible Google and Apple self-driving cars).
