Ask HN: After PRISM will you use social networks differently?
Are you going to: reduce your posts, change your type of publications? Less personal informations?
You don't care and nothing is going to change...

What I may consider is switching from Dropbox to some other solution, as I prefer my actual files to be more private. Email has never been secure so no change there really (using Google Apps at the moment).
On actual social networks I am reasonably careful with what I share already, not so much concerned about NSA & friends but rather sharing stupid things may get you in trouble with future employers etc. Things that could get you fired are better left off public/Semi-public networks (complaining about bosses etc).
On a side note: I am happy the potentially dangerous individuals are using FB etc. It enables effective monitoring of such individuals. One example is Swedish citizens going to fight in Syria, for the rebels and for Islam (jihad). Some of these have a Facebook group where they post photos, status updates and friends of theirs(?)/supporters comment. That is pretty much free surveillance, and a good thing.
I also got the hell off of all Google products and Skype.
Has the switch been a hassle? Somewhat, but I'm unable to ignore the fact my communications are being read, recorded and stored to be later used against me.
