This is a very naive point of view.

I too am not from the US, but this impacts me directly. Perhaps, even more so than US citizens, as they have rights (for the moment, at least).

It wouldn't be much of an issue if I didn't use Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, heck, even Oracle products. Not to mention that traceroute shows that most internet routes pass through the US, even if the destination is not there. After all, the fattest pipes are to the US.

I, and most posters here, have done nothing wrong. But the Stasi, if it still existed, might think otherwise. The US seems to be ok right now and focused on "terrorists" (real or imaginary), but we don't now who is going to eventually replace Obama.

I have faith that the american people will eventually put an end to the madness, before it is too late. But, in the meantime, please keep the NSA and Snowden news coming.
