I have to say, I am kind of numbed down by all the NSA revelations.
Yeah, they scan and read everything they physically can. So that's metadata and the data themselves.
They hack into SSL authorities, they try to read SSL traffic as much as possible, they try to get into Tor (and with such a little number of Tor relays, they very well may own it already).
I stopped caring, since I am not even a US citizen and can't change it with my votes anyway. Yeah, if they can get to some data, because the data is in plaintext sitting somewhere, they probably already did.

- lemming 13y agoYou can use something like https://github.com/al3x/sovereign https://github.com/al3x/sovereign and at least not have your data in Google et al. The problem is, it's not as convenient.
- glitchdout 13y agoThe only thing I can really think of is donating money to the EFF. Still, unless the American people take to the streets, nothing will change.
- waqf 13y agoThe entire budget of the EFF is only $3.8m at last count ( http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=7576 http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary...). I bet we could double that just among the people reading this page.
