The way to stop child porn isn't censorship, it's to follow the smut back to its source and arrest the perverts. Anything else is just hiding the problem.
The only solution is to have your military build your own network gear from scratch, using your own designs, using chips made in your own chip fab. Everything top to bottom designed and built by your own people. Then you can trust everything to work properly and not spy on you. Note that most countries are not willing or able) to manage this.
1-That won't stop hardware changes.
2-If the NSA has access to the network (they do) then they can intercept your download attempt and insert their own code (again).
Do the phone companies and internet companies get ordered to hand over our meta-data? Or are they volunteering the information of their own free will? The answer to this question will determine our plan of attack on fixing this situation. Do we need to punish the corporations for selling us out, or do we need to crucify our politicians for selling us out? We have limited resources, we can't effectively do both.
Start a search engine outside of Europe, that lists all the bad people/bad doctors/failed business etc. Anyone in Europe who wants to know about these things can search your site over https. And since you don't have any offices or assets in Europe they can't force you to follow their law.
Simplest answer: Anyone who demands to be forgotten gets put on a "no reply" list. Any time anyone in that specific country searches for that name they get a summary of the court case instead (no links at all).
Obama's politics are indistinguishable from Bush, he makes a better Republican than anyone the Republican party is actually fielding. Therefore having the Republican party back in power won't change anything.
There are two ways to be heard in the USA: Lots of money, or lots of voters. If you have fifty thousand presidential votes at your command the Republicans and the Democrats will line up to ask your opinion.
You are suggesting that those in power would let their ride get tampered with? That's funny. More likely the mail trucks and police cars will be the test beds for this.
Batteries have a higher energy density than gaseous hydrogen, and the compression uses up so much energy that you get better efficiency with batteries. Hydrogen is a poor energy storage solution unless you use liquids like gasoline or diesel. The ideal solution is to transmit power to the cars through the road, with a small battery to cover gaps and driveways.
What would be nice is if ALL external communications was on a separate processor. That way a security breach in your OS won't let the NSA intercept your data, and a security breach in your baseband won't let an attacker access your data/camera/microphone. The biggest issue is key handling/exchange. For you to talk with another phone you must share a key. How exactly do they manage that?
Because it gives the people who dislike the current situation a reason to think they can fix the systems problems by talking and getting public support. Without that belief their only option is civil war or crime. This belief is the reason that Democracy is great, because it drastically reduces civil war.
You WANT to spend your time studying politics and keeping track of what is happening in the world?! Why? There is a reason we have political terms, it's because most people can't stand to think about the whole mess more than 2 or 3 times per decade.
It doesn't have to be Google. Your ISP can MIM your searches to "fix" what you see, so can the government. Given how the NSA has behaved, I expect they have at least tried something like this as an experiment.
They have a news site, that makes them media. So far their interests are in selling OTHER peoples information instead of their own opinions, but that is always subject to change.
We have a new set of gate keepers. The same job as the old ones, just new names and faces. If you think Google isn't subject to political manipulation: It certainly looks like they are a willing participant in the NSA spying scandal.
The American government respects money. If the NSA spying scandal costs American companies money they will make sure the government fixes the problem. If you want this spying problem fixed, find a way to ensure large American corporations lose money over it.
Given the level of resources available to the NSA, once they have their hands on your hardware you should consider it permanently untrusted. It's not just that they could have reflashed the firmware, they could have installed a radio keylogger or maybe a radio receiver that allows direct control of the computer itself. The power supply could be redone to transmit your crypo-keys onto the power lines for all you know. Now you just have to figure out how to get hardware before they get their hands on it. Given their resources, that might be difficult.

I seem to remember "Protest zones" in the USA.

Pay them to install a second voice line. Use second voice line for data. Cancel first (broken) voice line. Problem fixed.
It's built in the USA because the USA government doesn't trust stuff built in China for government contracts.
Yes, they did. All Russian made copies of American made equipment. They also copied computers.

A properly done sandbox can look like an approved windows box, while running under Linux.

They won't pull out, there is far too much money to be made. From their point of view this is just a cost of doing business.

China is known to copy American routers, hardware and software. So using both might just get you extra NSA back doors on your network.
