Edward Snowden has released some more information.. at this point, either Americans will be completely numb to it or it may finally start to matter: Most of the online accounts that get investigated by the NSA belong to just everyday people.. As a matter of fact, MOST of the information the NSA has did not come from intended targets of investigations..
