Maybe, might also be that since tech literacy has degraded since his leak. Which means that they don’t care because they are overwhelmed with the information that they don’t understand. Hell, I imagine that a lot of the press that where sent the information didn’t fully understand.
The average person likely defaulted to what they always do, and just assumed that the leak meant the feds had to stop and treat it like any other historic reveal (example being stuff like COINTELPRO and believing that it was bad but isn’t done anymore). Hell, a shocking amount of libs honestly thought that Biden was going to bring Medicare for All (even though he said he wasn’t) just because he said “the Democratic Party is the party of healthcare” a few times.
I’m sure it’s a spectrum, and some people may legitimately not be aware, but its been 13 years. As a society, we’ve had ample time to get literate and develop knowledge. Instead we’ve had three presidents from both major parties hold the line that Snowden was a criminal for blowing the whistle on rampant illegal surveillance, and all 3 of them just stepped on the gas.
Voters don’t even see the irony in the pedophiles’ ramping up the surveillance apparatus in the name of protecting the children.
Yeah, it’s scary how much people don’t remember/don’t know
And don’t care.
