Could be that I'm naive as well, but personally, I hope that people will finally get the message Snowden tried to pass and in the process sacrificed his future (and maybe even his life) for: We're about to abandon our privacy.
I see the need for privacy at all level of our lives. Unless we all make a democratic and informed choice to drop this value. But since this requires enormous maturity, society might be ready for this in a couple of hundred years.
