Quote:Actually it's quite easy to avoid having data taken without the right credentials.  Google PGP or more specifically OpenPGP and learn how it works.

PGP protects some data on your device and throughout say a company e-mail account.

 

But does not protect the things that MOST people use..

G-mail, AIM, Facebook, Skype...

 

Apps on your phones that you allow "access" too also.

 

While there are encryption programs out there. I would doubt any of them are 100% safeguarding you from your government.

 

That also doesn't mention the "mercury rising, eagle eye" stuff if you like diving into those rabbit holes.
