Snowden's revelations did a lot of damage to trust in American servers and internet services internationally. (Bezos/Amazon probably stands to lose much in this way.) Many other parts of the world actually care for their privacy; Germany for example is still wary of excess data collection because of the Stasi and the problems they created.

News of PRISM et al is probably one of a few root causes behind underpinning this newfound federation of internet authority

By attacking the messenger they show how little they care about their users.
