To be expected when you have a change in power of the country that is giving asylum, and the new government is probably way more accepting of US demands... and specially expected when Wikileaks revelations and revelations like the ones from Snowden resulted in less than a slap on the wrist, instead of a deserved full blown revolution.
The problem here is that the public failed to understand and take actions on the crimes revealed by these whistleblower leaks, we are continuing towards a future of no privacy and total surveillance, a future of continued injustices commited in war torn countries, and people are actively trading their privacy and rights towards more totalitarian states and more dirty tactics of population control.
There was no awakening moment, societies are already too dull and too complacent, or convinced by government spread paranoia turning the tables against themselves.
Ultimately, there will be a point in time when we look back, if we're still there, and realize that we missed the opportunity to prevent a whole lot of pain and problems that will becoming from all this.
