Schneier on surveillance partnership

I strongly recommend reading the excellent essay on surveillance partnership of government and private sectors by Bruce Schneier.

I’d just add that I don’t believe changes in formal policies are enough to solve the problem (although they are very important). We also need to technically break the inherent surveillance grounds. We users can do it, I suggest looking at the overview of available software (and don’t forget that nothing is perfect from beginning and if you prefer temporary immediate profit over long term profit and over your freedom then you should look elsewhere).
