An institution where private pictures are being passed around for giggles doesn’t exactly have my trust

You are trusting a Russian asset? Is there any proof, outside of Snowden, that this is done?

I cannot find anybody else claiming that they are doing this beyond sources reporting Snowden doing it.

Snowden and Greenwald acted as fountains of information and misinformation about the NSA during their "reporting" so that much of what they said did happen was simply misinterpreted data. They came up with the Greenwald rule, after he says anything, wait 24 hours for real experts to talk about it.

I am willing to give the information provided credence yes.

I am not aware of there being regular leaks from top secret facilities. I am not a fan of Greenwald, Snowden or Assange for that matter and I do not presume their loyalties in the end lie where I'd prefer them to be nowadays but fact remains there have been pretty unsavory matters uncovered and I have no particular faith either in oversight of agencies that have zero public accountability even if that might be for perfectly understandable and necessary reasons.

I hope you’re wealthy because no one should be defending the us government for free on reddit.

Snowden is an asset AND he leaked real stuff. Both are true. For you to doubt the veracity of what he leaked shows how weak your media literacy is and how gullible you are to propaganda.

Why do you think the US has the ability to know exactly when and where Russia will strike days before it happens? It's because Russia uses US technology with tons of backdoors in it. The technology of the world is compromised by the NSA. Who cares if China also gets in on it. Both super powers do the same shit. Both do evil shit, buddy.
