If I subscribe to Ed Snowden’s Substack, on a scale of 1 to 10 how much “monitoring” am I about to be under…?


With what he has revealed, you'll realize that you’ve been monitored this whole time. All of us have.


He has pointed out that it’s not a question of whether they start monitoring you, it’s that with bulk collection they are collecting your activity already for later filtering/reference, forever.

No doubt. But (if I may disappear further down the rabbit hole) for this to be meaningful we would have to know what level of monitoring we are under without subscribing.
