I agree with everything you said except your last sentence. I think you
pointed the most important thing in this debate without wondering how to
change it. I mean communication, information, education.
Of course snowden's revelation didn't reach everyone equally because of
their different level of knowledge about computers. It's been a year and a
half and a lot of people are still ignorant about digital freedom, but some
like me came to the free softawre world directly because of that.
It's right saying nothing is really gonna change during the 5 years to come
for example. But if every free software user now tells everyone he can how to
protect their freedom, if schools organize events about it and use free
software, if people create their own medias and talk about it, if they also
think about adapting their computer use on their real needing. A lot of
things can change within 10 or 20 years.
I think communication and education, wich means having a real social life, is
the key to a lot of things in our modern world.
