I want my private files and private communications to be private.
We should all be boycotting centralization of private communications and unencrypted file storage in the cloud as a precautionary measure. In light of NSA/Prism, especially when communicated across national borders, we should insist on end-to-end encryption: GPG/PGP, S/MIME, HTTPS, RSA/DES/etc, i.e. nothing sent in the clear.
For public services like Google+ or Twitter, the information is public anyway. Unless Google, Apple, Microsoft, et al, start implementing back doors on my devices for the NSA I don't think boycotting is the answer. The pressure has to be primarily on the politicians, hold their feet to the fire until FISA/PATRIOT acts are repealed.
