[sudo-discuss] Opt out of PRISM

[Andrew]

this is an awesome list of great software. I also think it's important that
people understand that privacy, anonymity, and securing require more than
just switching to Ubuntu, using Firefox, etc... It requires real changes in
behavior, as well as technical solutions. For example, you can use
encrypted email all you want, but if the person you are communicating with
doesn't also have good security practices they can be compromised and all
your communications can be made available to anyone with access to their
computer.

Also keep in mind that these technical solutions will never be enough. For
example,  keyloggers are easy to trick someone in to installing or can even
be placed in to "legitimate" via automatic updates without the user
knowing. At any moment Apple, Microsoft, and Google could switch on a
network of spying computers unprecedented in American history, (are you
sure you and everyone you are communicating with are using 0% software from
these companies?).

The point is that this is not a technical problem. And, so far it's still
very difficult for the NSA to gain human intelligence, so if you want to
share secrets, the best way to do it is over drinks at your friends house
surrounded by people you trust.
