I just keep hearing “they have all your data” and I don’t know what that’s supposed to mean.

Edit: thanks to everyone whos contributed, although I still remain confused and in disbelief over some of the things in the comments, I feel like I have a better grasp on everything and I hope some more people were able to learn from this post as well.

More importantly than what Snowden revealed, is what the reaction of the government revealed. (and by extension the reaction of the MSM and the public)
If a whistle-blower reveals criminal activity within the government, and is treated like a criminal because of this, and has to flee the country because of this, that shows how corrupt and criminal they are, and unwilling to change.
And apparently the population is OK with this.
Even worse, despite the government clearly showing they are criminal, for some reason the mere thought of the government being criminal is considered insane. (the very word conspiracy theory is often met with ridicule, while distrust of the government should be the norm, not the exception).
This reveals a lot about society and the government as well as the mainstream media that is sweeping it all under the rug.
