Technological solutions only lead to centralisation of snooping. Whereas before it was possible for many players to snoop on your traffic, now a few big ones do the same and it has become even harder to prevent their snooping because everything depends on them. One wonders if the decentralised model wasn't better after all for the majority of us who aren't concerned about state level snooping since the state usually can control us in so many ways that online privacy alone isn't enough and besides implementing checks and balances upon the state can and should be done politically, since whatever individuals do technologically the state can also do, or do better, or in the worst case, ban it.
