There's a few projects around the idea of not requiring a dynamic backend for webapps. The general term is "unhosted" (unhosted.org), and it mostly started as a reaction to the we-have-your-data-and-can-use-it-however-we-want

This is probably the most effective way to turn politicians around on the issue. As sad as it may be, a "jobs vs. security" debate is much more competitive in politics than "4th amendment vs. security" debate. The more t
