This debate about privacy will only get more interesting as time goes on. To take an extreme case, what “privacy” can we expect in an age when many people know how to genetically engineer a virus? (Obviously, this is in the future!) It’s not a bad thing if (e.g.) the CEO of Facebook and POTUS have a talk about this.

There are many ways a person like Snowden could have contributed to this most interesting debate, other than simply to undermine the United States. No doubt people like Zuckerberg and Bill Gates will be much more constructive.
