There's nothing as absolute privacy on the internet. Even Tor cannot keep you truly anonymous (http://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/view/34294/tor-is-not-as-safe-as-you-may-think/ http://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/view/34294/tor-is-not-a...)
However, perhaps Snowden's biggest achievement is to bring security to the forefront of everything and create a wave of new half-baked "security" products which want to ride the wave.

- Karunamon 12y agoThis is very true. But all that needs to happen is a non-trivial amount of people making the bastards work for it, in order to make the kind of at-scale mass monitoring the NSA and friends are doing become prohibitively expensive. And oh yeah, as a bonus, it makes you a less attractive target to your everyday script kiddie. That means truecrypt all the drives, https all the websites, pgp all the emails. In short, If you have an option between a secure and nonsecure (but slightly more difficult) way of doing something, always pick the secure one.
