<i>55% of employed Americans believe Snowden was right to expose PRISM</i><p>A poll on &quot;employed Americans&quot; seems like a strange demographic to poll? I cannot think of why someone would chose such an odd demographic. I am looking forward to reading the questions.

I want this to be true, but that would be a massive reversal from this poll from January <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/poll-most-think-edward-snowden-should-stand-trial-in-us/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cbsnews.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;poll-most-think-edward-snowden-s...</a> and other very similar polls around that time (even as late as April) ... <a href="http://bit.ly/1jyVj6t" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;bit.ly&#x2F;1jyVj6t</a> ... so I&#x27;ll wait till the actual poll hits the presses before taking this seriously.

&gt; Eighty-two percent believe their personal information is still being analyzed by the US government, and 81 percent believe their personal information is being analyzed by corporations for business purposes.<p>I can&#x27;t wrap my head around the other 20%, esp. in the latter statistic. What do they think the world looks like?

All that this Snowman did is that he confirmed that the API&#x27;s really exist and that there were requests for weakening of the security protocols.<p>All in all, direct data access thru API&#x27;s isn&#x27;t a bad thing in general because it provides a fast response option but also we should have in mind the human factor error option and the misuse of the API&#x27;s for the sake of personal interest and that should really make any citizen worried.<p>Did he endangered the security of the USA ? No. We all had assumptions about it before but they weren&#x27;t yet confirmed.<p>Did the weakening of the security protocols endangered the USA&#x2F;World economy and the security of the USA&#x2F;World citizens? Absolutely YES. Anyone could reverse-engineer the weakened protocol.<p>All in all:<p>Did he did the right thing regarding his employer? No.<p>Did he did the right thing regarding the rest of us? Yes.

Sadly, I dont think this the case. Most everyone I&#x27;ve spoken to about Snowden either didnt know who he was or was some what fine with being spied on the catch &quot;terrorists.&quot;<p>I still dont believe the general public understands the gravity of the situation. Now the US is looking way worse than China. Most people still dont understand how tarnishing this is to our already horrible image abroad.

With absolute neutrality towards the topic of the article, here are some warning flags for the data presented.<p>&quot;Employed Americans&quot; isn&#x27;t a typical survey category, and the author makes no attempt at explaining why &quot;Employed Americans&quot; was a more relevant demographic to survey than all americans, all adults, all adults between ages of x and y, etc. Nor does the author present equivalent statistics for the more commonly surveyed demographics.<p>&quot;Nearly one in two employed Americans&quot; really just means almost 50%, and could be misleading on quick glance.

Perhaps relevant: I was having coffee at a friend&#x27;s house yesterday morning, and he was talking about Snowden. My friend has totally changed his mind, now thinking that Snowden did the right thing. I know this is just one data point but the flip in opinion surprised me.

why do I feel this title implies that what &quot;americans&quot; think is inaccurate or wrong ?
