How switching to Ubuntu will help me in this case? This makes no sense. PRISM probably monitors the network traffic that goes through the US. It makes no difference what OS you're using.

- davidong 13y agoI've been thinking about reducing trust in a post-PRISM world a bit today and while switching doesn't help here currently, open source projects are at least theoretically able to prove their trustworthiness by publishing audit tools. Say for example a distro publishes build scripts which download, verify, patch, compile and package some software using a specific toolchain, anyone could audit this via a simple hash check. Apple and Microsoft could never prove themselves this way because they need to keep their source code a secret.
