I agree, the leaked information is troubling. However these fake stories, much like the "fake hate crime" stories, are equally troubling. Its also problematic that so many people could care less whether these stories are factual or not, as long as it further promotes their narrative. Hell, you even admit to it by saying "it doesn't matter that this story is fake, I know it's happening anyway."

It is happening anyway. You just admitted that the leaked documents are troubling. In those documents they specifically say this:

A top secret National Security Agency program allows analysts to search with no prior authorization through vast databases containing emails, online chats and the browsing histories of millions of individuals, according to documents provided by whistleblower Edward Snowden.

Am I saying something that is not factual according to these documents?
