This is just something I wanted to get out here on Hacker news, I have a strong respect for people here and have high regard on their opinions.
Firstly Im not American, and according to the map Im from a country "less investigated" (src: http://guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jun/08/nsa-boundless-informant-global-datamining )
Heres a couple of thing i wanted to discuss: (in no particular order)
1. I read that the NSA will start an police investigation on the leek, how is this a priority for now?
2. What is the avarage US citizens feelings on the Prism from a birds eye view? A lot of people on Twitter seems to be fine with the gov. constantly big-brothering you. The quote I see alot is "I got nothing to hide", clearly showing that people dont understand the seriousness of this.
3. Because Im not that into politics in the US, I wonder if there is some law (recently passed) that could somehow grant an government agency rights for this kind of (worldwide) human privacy violation?
4. Lastly I have a feeling US citizen have a strong feeling about their constitution, that said is there something that is going to happen in the next few weeks inside US? Or is this another thing that is just going to be forgotten.
Please note, I dont want to accuse or blame any one person or people. This is just my curiosity regarding this matter.
