A Decade After Snowden's Revelations, Has Anything Really Changed?

Ten years after Edward Snowden exposed mass surveillance by the US government, it is unclear whether America has undergone a profound transformation in its attitude to safeguarding individual privacy.

Snowden himself remains in exile in Russia, where he continues to work as a digital privacy activist and critic of President Vladimir Putin’s regime.
