Thank you for laying this all out in black and white, NanceG..
I'm putting your post link and a snip in my message and adding it to my journal so I can reference it handily. It makes my head swim and so appreciate your effort to write out what's been being pulled on DU by SAS..
Snowden and Greenwald are lucky they have willing customers who don't ask questions. Not so lucky that everyone isn't like them.

"Whatever Eddie says is to be accepted as 100% truthful and accurate.
Snowden says he could have accessed Obama's email. Proof offered - zero.
Snowden says he could have watched what people were posting on the internet as they typed it. Proof offered - zero.
Snowden says that he could monitor people's on-line purchases, and other internet activities. Proof offered - zero.
Snowden said he couldn't go to his superiors with his 'knowledge' of wrongdoing. Almost a year later, he suddenly remembered that he DID alert them via emails on the topic. Proof offered of having done so - zero.
Snowden now says that "entire populations, rather than just individuals, now live under constant surveillance. It's no longer based on the traditional practice of targeted taps based on some individual suspicion of wrongdoing. It covers phone calls, emails, texts, search history, what you buy, who your friends are, where you go, who you love.” Proof offered - zero.
Snowden felt compelled to disclose details of domestic spying - and the fact that he disclosed our country's spying tactics when it came to other countries was just innocent inadvertentance.
Snowden passed on hundreds of thousands of sensitive documents to third parties without ever knowing what those documents contained, and what the consequences of those disclosures might be - because a "true patriot" doesn't give a shit about those kinds of details, or what's at stake."

Putin’s grip on the internet
snip//
The precedent of persecuting bloggers to silence them was set in 2008, a year after a blogger Savva Terentyev criticised police in a comment on a LiveJournal post he was sentenced to one year suspended sentence, article 282 of Russian Criminal Code for, “fomenting of social hatred” towards policemen. Since then, article 282, which covers actions provoking animosity and hatred towards certain religious, social, gender or national groups has been used to silence bloggers through the courts.
The other charge commonly used against internet users is “extremism” . Throughout Putin’s reign this charge has been used to target people who criticise the Kremlin — together with defamation and drug legislation. Russia’s Department of Presidential Affairs won three defamation lawsuits against newspaper Novaya Gazeta in just one week last year. All the articles talked about this authority’s controversial withdrawals from Russian budget and extremely high salaries of its staff. The editor-in-chief Dmitry Muratov told Index that Kremlin has been using defamation suits as a censorship instrument.
snip//
Starting from 1 November 2012 Russian authorities won’t need a court ruling, like they did in the Terentyev case. Authorities will appeal to ISPs, like in the Rumyantsev case, create website blacklists and will be able to actually shut down anything they won’t like. Previously, a court ruling could make a website or the URL of a certain web content inaccessible in a specific region, while it stayed available in another.
Andrey Soldatov, an expert on Russian security services, notes that soon “the Kremlin will have at its disposal the facilities for blocking access to internet resources across the whole of Russia”, including Skype and Facebook."

Putin ramps up Internet censorship, citing Google and Snowden to ensure public support
On March 13, a half-dozen highly trafficked opposition blogs and indie media outlets were suddenly blocked within Russia. The websites — including the highly respected Ekho Moskvy radio station and the blog of popular nationalist opposition politician, Alexei Navalny — received no notice of the impeding cutoff.
There was no court order, no trial, not even a public hearing. But there’s no doubt the move was official: Roskomnadzor, Russia’s mass media and telecommunications regulator, very publicly announced it in a directive to Russian ISPs, explaining that access to these websites must be blocked for extremism and for encouraging people to attend unsanctioned protests — in this case, against Russia’s annexation of Crimea.
This new formal power to unilaterally block access to any website comes via a brand new Internet censorship law that went into effect on February 1, 2014. It’s called the “Law of Lugovoi” — named after its author, State Duma Deputy Andrei Lugovoi, a scary ex-FSB officer-turned-Duma deputy who is better known as the prime suspect in the 2007 polonium assassination of Alexander Litvinenko in London.
Russia has refused to extradite Lugovoi to the UK to face trial and has instead allowed him to make a second career for himself as an ambitious legislator in Russia’s lower house of parliament. Lugovoi has put his personal stamp on plenty of bills, including ones that limit free speech and expand the power of the FSB. (He’s also know for periodically issuing veiled death threats against opposition politicians.)
