Only GG has had brought any really serious consequences to political or government power. The rest are just winning audience from MSM. And even GG's consequences are debatable. Snowden's data had an impact but our governments snoop and violate no less than before. They reorganized, consolidated and normalized their practices. We used to think that snooping was a bad idea, but now we seem to think that it protects democracy ITSELF. What else keeps us safe from trump/putin/1-6/nazis?
