>Privacy is not something that can be controlled at the individual level when you're up against billion dollar budgets. Use FOSS, now the price of direct compromise rises above $0. Turn on NoScript? Whoops, there goes like 90% of web tracking, goodbye surveillance capitalists. Use Tor or other multihop for casual browsing? Most adversaries will now be incapable of tracing an arbitrary circuit of an arbitrary user. Cost of tracking activity is now way up there. It's true that against an adversary with enough money to surveil massive swathes of ISPs worldwide, strong anonymity is not viable for casual use- that kind of thing requires networks of fixed-rate dummy traffic tunnels, public/open LAN networks, proper operational security with devices, avoiding as much social interaction as possible, the whole shebang. Political action is needed, but I fail to see how we can actually get past dark money like super PACs and such. Failing that, if enough people use their general purpose machines in a subversive manner, they themselves will become more difficult to suppress.
