I think we should also focus on making our current technology impervious to this type of tracking. If the flaw exists in the system that exposes our personal information then we should work to plug the hole. I think organizing is important too but I guarantee someone is going to try this type of power grab again in the future.

  Technology can be made impervious to spies but organisations based on humans cannot.

  We can make our tech impervious to tracking time and time again. Follow best practices, etc. It absolutely does help. The shortfall comes in with backdooring and just getting access. There's nothing stopping a government that strongarms laws like this into law, from strongarming a company into giving access to data.

I've just started out freelancing, this is the kick in the pants I need to fill my downtime.

  Fill your downtime with work to fill your pipeline. Unless you plan on selling freelancing services related to anti-surveillance work (Security, building an audience in the area) really filling your time with anything but sales is going to hurt in a years time

    If what you do during your downtime is directly related to your work then it can hardly be called downtime, now can it?

      I assumed with the reference to starting freelancing (s)he referred to "time I normally would have spent at work but now cannot bill (i.e. 9-5 M-F) as opposed to "time that never used to be work (i.e. Sleeping, weekends etc)" Otherwise the freelancing comment would have been superfluous But you read it how you like.
