Hillary Clinton: people felt betrayed by NSA surveillance
Rory Carroll Los Angeles
Wednesday 25 February 2015 01.50 GMT
Hillary Clinton has softened her criticism of Edward Snowden and said that people felt betrayed by the National Security Agencys mass surveillance programmes.
The former secretary of state dialled down her previous rhetoric about the whistleblower and hardened her tone towards the NSA while addressing a conference on women in Silicon Valley.
The presumptive Democratic frontrunner for the 2016 presidential race also endorsed the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) plan for net neutrality regulations, aligning herself with those who believe information and services should have a level playing field online.
Clinton made the comments in a question and answer session following a keynote address to technology executives at the Lead On conference in Santa Clara, organised by Watermark.

stalking and nude photo pass-arounds among NSA contractors, since she was speaking to women.
It would be hard for her to claim to be pro-woman and still defend the NSA completely when the only documented 'abuses' admitted to were directly aimed at women.
