Privacy was meant to be the power of individuals, [] to protect ourselves from the institutional giants, [] either in modern times or in earlier times, argued Snowden, aforementioned by CNBC. It was an insulating layer that allowed those of us who have very little power in society [] they could think, act and associate freely, he added.

The former CIA and NSA collaborator also charged the tech giants for their desire to extend surveillance over their users. The same companies that have worked so hard to spread encryption over the years now [] they want to have as much information as possible, he explained, noting that those firms they are limiting the use of end-to-end encryption in the fields that serve your business interest.
