LONDON – A year has passed since the American former intelligence contractor Edward J. Snowden began revealing the massive scope of Internet surveillance by the US National Security Agency. His disclosures have elicited public outrage and sharp rebukes from close US allies like Germany, upending rosy assumptions about how free and secure the Internet and telecommunications networks really are.
伦敦——现在离美国前情报承包商爱德华·斯诺登披露美国家安全局大规模网络监视行动已经整整一年了。他所披露的行为引发了公众愤怒和德国等亲密盟友的强烈指责，颠覆了现实生活中互联网和电信网络多么自由安全的美好假设。斯诺登靠一己之力改变了人们对手机、平板和笔记本电脑的认识，引发公众辩论个人信息保护。但泄密事件并没有带来真正的改革。
