Overview: Heroic whistleblower or villainous traitor? Regardless of how you feel about Edward Snowden's release of confidential NSA documents, there are several important lessons from the entire NSA PRISM scandal that any organization dealing with Big Data can take to heart.

Nobody is upset the NSA has stopped terrorist attacks (except the terrorists, of course). What we're all upset about is the fact that they are collecting information on everybody else - especially non-US citizens. Lesson #1: It's not just the data you want that are important, you also have to worry about the data you don't want. Other lessons include the increased role of metadata, the role Big Data analytics play in data governance, and dealing with Big Data issues over time.
