These are my feelings exactly, I just don't see anyone caring about it beyond the Slashdot forums, online games (of all places!) and select other forums, plus maybe one or two people I know. I think the people who feel this way like you and I should organize a community to try to brainstorm ideas if nothing else though.
Like I said somewhere on here, the EFF is nice but theres only so much that can be done through the legal system when that is the system that is being subverted.
More serious question is how much more spying do we take before even a token percentage of the population resolves to do something about it.
The legal system isn't gonna get it done, much as the activities of the EFF are admirable, someone has to do something the government can't ignore.
Any ideas? (besides the retarded crap about flooding the net for no ones gain, remember, this is at least somewhat targetted and all that would do would be make things difficult for us, not the government)
So let's do something about it, I'm all for getting some action done instead of just bitching about things on the internet, because lets face it, its easy for politicians to ignore objectors if they don't feel threatened by them.
If you have any suggestions on something we can actually do or if you wanna help do something about it, we should start now.
Absolutely, I think we should also organize a website to server as a central place to organize something like this. It's completely neccesary because as much as whining and bitching on the internet may feel good, it doesn't do much and politicians will be content to let us do it to our hearts content until they actually feel the weight of the people on their shoulders.
