1. I think Facebook made people change their habits

and all the other commercial intrusions, Website scams, data miners (not government, but those working for employers, universities, et al.), etc. There's no proof that people changed their habits because of the NSA. If they did, they're pretty stupid.

Oh, and hackers have made people change their habits. Target and hundreds of other companies that were hacked have raised awareness enormously. My email provider sent me notices to change my password. People are simply more aware.


I'm not afraid of the NSA spying on me. I'm sick and tired of the rest of the world "spying" on my web searches and/or hacking into companies with whom I've done business, gaining access to my records.

So no, sorry, Eddie Snowden is not responsible for the world's issues.
