Last paragraph makes a good point

But now it’s been a decade. Everything he knows is old and out of date. Everything we know is old and out of date. The NSA suffered an even worse leak of its secrets by the Russians, under the guise of the Shadow Brokers, in 2016 and 2017. The NSA has rebuilt. It again has capabilities we can only surmise.

On one hand I would love to know all these secrets on the other… A little bit of blissful ignorance might not be the worst thing.

They might reveal more after even more time has passed. The incredible thing about all this is that several people worked on these files, yet, on behalf of morality, chose to keep most of it a secret.

If anything the NSA should praise these journalists for their morality, but that'll never happen.

My main take away from Snowden stuff is all the "crazy" people thinking the government is spying on you is correct regardless of affiliation. And they aren't going to stop.
