Do all the stuff that makes them squeal the loudest. Ignore the personalities, and raise as much hell as possible regarding the abuses and potential abuses of the programs themselves, on two fronts - Within one's own country regarding how this program is in violation of the liberties assured by the documents of the country one is in; while opposing the power and potential abuse by private firms growing rich off of the implementation of excessive spying of the citizenry, these are not elected officials or clandestine operatives, they are private firms with the same access as the governments themselves, we must challenge the legality and wisdom of giving such power to multinational corporations.
Most of all do not be derailed or allow them to frame it as personalities they would vilify as evil traitors for blowing the whistle. This can not be about Snowden, G.G., Obama, or Ron Paul.
It is all about a growing corporate/government information gathering industrial complex that because of the relation of growth and profit will end with no privacy and the corrupting power of unknown government and private entities having files on everyone, imagine Hoover 100 fold with the added nuance of allowing corporations to review ones "file" as well as the modern day Hoovers.
Growth of the Surveillance/Security State is assured if we do not impede it as private entities will profit from the growth, and our governments will allow it as it also increases their authoritarian power, Left alone all we will see is the growth of this, time to jump on the gears or accept our new information overlords.
