(1. Februar) It‘s true the media sometimes gets carried away with sensationalist reporting on the secondary aspects of NSA spying on everything, which you foolishly reduce to NSA spying on the “pooping pattern” in toilets, but the media stories are not Snowden‘s doing. You say, “Snowden has exposed a practice that is as old as the Roman Empire. Industrial espionage has been utilized and performed by every empire and every government for thousands of years.” The same could be said of the revelations of NSA spying on Angela Merkel’s cell phone: governments have been spying on each other’s leaders for centuries. That‘s true, and the media sensationalize that, but that‘s not the core of Snowden‘s revelations.
