10 Years After Snowden's First Leak, What Have We Learned?
"We" weren't the ones who needed the lesson. Our government learned
that when it hires people whom have a conscience and orders them to
break the law, bad things happen.
Most people have learned nothing. They don't save their files on their
own machines, they use services from Google etc.
Many people use Facebook, Whatsapp, Twitter, Tiktok.
They don't care if they are spied out.
I think there's a kinder, gentler explanation: most people know that
almost everything they do on their computer while at home is a trivial
pursuit of entertainment, and not worth protecting. I don't keep my
back records in the cloud, nor my tax files, but I keep photos of my
family there, and pictures of our garden, and a blog as well.
The key isn't to care about spying: it's to never put things out in
public that we might be embarrassed to see on a billboard.
