It's all too familiar of what happened with Snowden, as you mentioned. I feel as though there was more of a concentration on a person actually leaking information, rather than the fact that the American Gov. is actively spying on its citizens. I remember hearing Snowden's name first, before I actually heard what he leaked.
I think this isn't the same case, as the recent leaker wasn't doing this for moral reasons, like Snowden arguably was, but it is the same outcome it seems.
