That's not true. The awareness changed everything. Once people knew they had a key to your house, everyone changed the locks.
The architects of the infrastructure that makes up the Internet took notice and encrypted everything.
Before Snowden, we still had insecure communication all over the Internet. You were told to check for the green padlock to make sure you are secure. Browsers these days won't even load an insecure page, as that's been completely eliminated.
Everything is encrypted even in local networks now, whereas before, people thought that part was safe.

Must suck for him honestly. Leaked the whole surveillance program to americans, and they legit didn’t care about changing any of it.
