What options do we have? How are other startups/businesses dealing with this? Pragmatically speaking, carry on as normal and, if you really care, implement some commonsense security measures. Monitoring has been going on for years and its exposure recently is just the latest media storm in a teacup. Almost no items on the HN front page in a year's time will be about this topic and we'll be ignorantly living in the "new normal" as we always do. Remember when "comedy would never be the same" after 9/11? How the economy would collapse and we'd be fighting for food in the streets after the financial crisis? How Iceland was headed down the pan? How avian or swine flu would decimate humanity in the 2000s? How the Manning leaks would destroy international diplomacy? The media's job is to blow everything into a crisis to get people thinking their day to day lives are radically changing.. except, they ain't and they so rarely do.
