THE ABSURD TIMES
This is just a quick note about the previous post.
There is, of course, and I'm sure most of you knew this, that those alternative, free, open-source products protect anything from the NSA and their surveillance. Everything you do online, on the phone, while wataching tv, listening to the radio, walking in the woods, is monitored by the NSA and stored, period.
Think about it. Just find out how many gigabytes of storage you have on your own hard-drive. Today, you can store the equivalent of many college libraries on your own hard drive. Now think of how many of those the NSA has in its headquarters, and then how they and compress the date as well. No imagine how much data that is, since it is everything that has traveled in electronic form for decades. Now consider that they have so much of it that they need to build a huge facility in Utah to store the overflow.
Can anybody seriously think that using an alternative search engine or browser will protect you? They can watch you as you type, in fact. The only thing giving you any privacy (whether you pronounce it as in "privy" or now) is that only about a million people have the needed access to do it easily. There is simply too much.
Still, the list provided by Wikileaks Press is helpful. All the products are worthwhile and oten superior products.
