A poll by the Pew Research Center suggests that Snowden's revelations have not much changed the public's favorable view of the NSA. Younger people (under 30) tend to view the NSA favorably, compared to those 65 and older. 61% of people aged 18-29 viewed the NSA favorably, while 30% viewed the NSA unfavorably and 9% had no opinion. 55% of people aged 30-49 viewed the NSA favorably. At the 65+ age bracket, only 40% of people viewed the NSA favorably.

Maybe the NSA just hacked the poll.
Or what's more likely is that the average person doesn't even know what the NSA is. |

I can't think of anyone I know in that age bracket that favors the data collection and domestic spying. However they do tend to think space stuff is cool while being largely ignorant on any related topic. I have a hard time believing the NSA is actually that well thought of with them. |

The younger "look at me" generation embraces Fazebook and other forms of social media and eagerly post every private detail of their meaningless lives on it. Not surprisingly, the Nasty Spy Agency laps it all up. Truly you get the government you deserve.

Intrusion works. So do gulags. Both of our claims are arguable. NSA has more data than it knows what to do with, and gulags do a great job of dividing a country into the the watched and the watchers. I think Americans are quite accustomed to government surveillance, but I'm not sure how ready they are for gulags. A factor that's interesting to me is how many kids are growing up with dystopian fiction. Hunger Games, Maze Runner, hell, even Harry Potter- all have dysfunctional, abusive governments and kids are watching the movies or even reading the books for school. I hope it makes a difference. |
