> What he leaked was that our government let the NSA spy on our citizens illegally, so it's not like all our privacy laws actually protect us if our own governments let the Americans have free access to our data any way.
Yeah :/ Unless I hear otherwise, I'm assuming this order has little to offer individuals and is instead a big business & government treaty. Governments (including our European ones) keeps their mass surveillance and American mega-corporations get the business contracts, all covered in PR of increased individual privacy.
Since it's an executive order, it also wouldn't surprise me if there's a hidden payload relating to increased US surveillance due to the war. I may sound cynical but every leak about the intelligence apparatus has proven even me naive.
