Defending Against Surveillance?

Extrudedaluminiu asks: "With the recent news about domestic spying by the NSA, American citizens are put in a very difficult situation. Citizens in other countries, around the globe, also find themselves in situations where their lives can be examined by government agencies or other groups of questionable ethics. What can people in this kind of world do to defend themselves? Are there any approaches to thwarting or mitigating surveillance that will work on a mass scale? What technologies can people use to hold on to their freedoms, in a difficult world?"

I can assure you I am significantly more informed about this subject than you are. Regardless, you need to learn that reading has nothing to do with being knowledgeable.

I you want me to "read up" on Echeleon, fine. Here are some other google searches for you as well:

Just because you can google it, doesn't make it true.
