Edward Snowden's revelations were made in 2013. The Yahoo story concerns events of 2015, and programs specifically begun in 2015.
Ed Snowden's good. But he's not Timelord good.
The Yahoo revelations are new, and material. And exceptionally bad for Yahoo, Verizon (who've their own dark history of mass surveillance participation), and Mayer, who took on a tough job with a sinking ship and based on latest information made it worse and the holes bigger.
I have a hard time seeing how this doesn't implicate the entire SAAS / centralised services Web world by association, particularly with the lack of comment from other vendors.
