The Snowden leaks proved that the NSA was spying on Americans, but the excuse back then was that it was "just metadata" and since then the narrative has focused on Snowden being in Russia and that therefore he must be a Russian plant and that we should all focus on that instead of the fact that this unconstitutional program exists and that we're all being spied on by our own government.
