What most Americans want is not freedom, but safety. This was Corbin's answer to Snowden's questioning. However, this ignores one of the most important issues. That is, even if what they want is safety, they have to say they want it.
After 9/11, the American public's sympathy for terrorism has reached extreme levels, so even if a free or safe vote were held, it would not be too surprising that a safe victory would be held. But it's very different from if you don't vote and decide directly for the people.
Snowden's fears progressed in many layers, from dissatisfaction with the actual use of the concealed work, to the anger of seeing the government use privacy to frame others, to the helplessness of drones bombarding people's lives at will, and finally being arrested for 24 hours. Watch for a one-hit knockout.
I don't know how much the Snowden incident has had on the United States. At the end, the various announcements by the US government to stop data collection are of great significance. This kind of undisclosed secret collection, if it is announced to stop, it will really stop. Even if it does stop, it should not be called to the world when it restarts. How do we know, we will wait for the next Snowden does it appear.
The Snowden incident has more of an international impact on the United States. How much resistance will be felt by the domestic people and how long it will last. For ordinary American people, they don't know which day they will be involved in a terrorist attack, and their phone and email will be monitored, what will they choose? How will they choose between human rights and human life?
