I truly believe that publishing the information that Greenwald received from Snowden was critical. Greenwald has brought to life a realistic issue that Americans are faced with, their security and privacy. Nevertheless, changes—to how the government monitors us—are visible now and it is safe to say that society looks at this issue with more understanding. One important action that occurred is when the “House passed a bill (ostensibly) meant to stop bulk collection of phone metadata.” Although we do not know if this has actually taken effect, the sheer fact that the government is trying to make visible improvements is a step in the right direction. Another development was later seen when a federal judge said the “NSA phone surveillance program is unconstitutional.” Again, Glenn Greenwald's decision to publish the article has definitely instigated change. In retrospect, Greenwald’s initial decision to publish the article has changed how the United States and the world looks at this
