[sudo-discuss] Opt out of PRISM

[Eddan Katz]

Perhaps another item for discussion at the Bay Area Consortium of Hackerspaces (BACH) meeting this weekend would be to raise awareness about our local fusion centers.

>>> 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?).
