As autonomous beings we should be able to choose what information, about ourselves and our family, we share with others. The activities of GCHQ et al - collecting everything - diminish our autonomy.Personally, I think trying to secure yourself from the likes of GCHQ is a pointless (and probably impossible) exercise. It is pretty obvious they are storing all our phone and internet activity and to be honest so what? It might be too hard for a "targeted" person to secure ones information from agents of the state (they'll likely get what they want from you if you're a target), but we can raise the cost of collecting information about us. Use encryption wherever possible; use Tor Browser for day-to-day web browsing; avoid non-free software and seek out free hardware; force them to exploit your devices to get information about you and make that task as difficult and as costly as practicable. jah |
