The three-letter agencies need a good lesson in marketing. <br>
<br>
The way to do surveillance is to offer "free candy & toys" in
exchange for tracking everything you do, everywhere you go, scanning
for keywords and emotional tone in your email and phone calls, and
doing the same to all your friends who write to you or talk to you
over the intercepted channels. <br>
<br>
For cover, occasionally pester you with ads that seem a little too
personal, so you complain about the ads but don't notice Big Brother
lurking behind the curtain. And claim it's all consensual since
everyone who signed up clicked the check-box "I Agree" on the
interminably long TOS page.<br>
<br>
Then when it's time to increase the level of surveillance even more,
bring out a new consumer toy, starting with beta tests offered to a
select group of the hippest coolest people around. That'll get
thousands of others to want it, so they can seem as if they're part
of the elite. After it's gotten plenty of chirpy reviews from the
supine media, offer it to the masses. Alternately, find some "need"
that can "only" be met by having even more pervasive surveillance in
exchange for "convenience."<br>
<br>
That works fabulously well, as recent history shows. And a strong
enough plurality of the people who are being watched, listened to,
stalked, and sniffed, will even defend it, to the point where anyone
who objects gets labeled as a luddite. <br>
<br>
One more thing. Have a young billionare as the figurehead, or come
up with a slogan that makes the company doing it seem "different" or
"better" than a corporate reptile. A slogan such as "don't be
evil." <br>
<br>
If the three-letter agencies did that, even a major leak wouldn't
slow them down. <br>

<div>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.<br>
<br>
</div>
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?).<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>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.<br>
