Not to mention all those who lack the required expertise, yet also deserve privacy.
That's why instead of looking for ways to ditch these services, we need to make sure they are audited on a regular basis, and that government agencies don't feel they are above the law; to remind our masters that only our consent gives them the power they crave.
- thex86 13y agoWhile I agree with your sentiment, doing that will likely be difficult. However, the end-to-end encryption is what we need, so that we don't have to rely or expect service providers to change. Things like PGP for sending emails, OTR for IM, Jitsi for video conferencing. All these do end-to-end encryption and this is what we should be moving to. So if you are using Gmail, but you only send PGP emails, great. You are using Google's services while not giving them anything.
