世界对监听说不 by Ed Snowden

Two years on, the difference is profound. In a single month, the N.S.A.’s invasive call-tracking program was declared unlawful by the courts and disowned by Congress. After a White House-appointed oversight board investigation found that this program had not stopped a single terrorist attack, even the president who once defended its propriety and criticized its disclosure has now ordered it terminated.
两年间,事情发生了深刻的改变。一个月之内,NSA旗下这个侵犯隐私的电话监控项目先是被法庭裁定为非法,随后又遭到了国会的反对。由白宫委派的监督委员会经过调查发现,这一项目迄今未能阻止任何一起恐怖袭击,现在,就连为其正当性做过辩护、严厉批评过泄密之举的总统,也下达了终止该项目的命令。
This is the power of an informed public.
知情的公众展现了他们的力量。
