I dont agree with what the guy did.

Provided the people who had access to all the information were doing no harm with it (using data to wrongly prosecute people), I think he just alerted everyone in the world that we can spy on you, so people who DO have something to hide will now go to other extreme measures to protect their actions. If anyone was searching my communications, it doesnt really bother me, because there isnt really anything to hide. People are going to spy anyway and we cant stop them.
