doc_holliday··on NSA collects millions of text messages daily in 'untargeted' global sweep
Your right, action is what is needed. We cannot expect most ordinary citizens to use by default the most secure communications or private setup.

Therefore the law needs to fall in favour of privacy for ordinary communications (SMS, calls, email). Our future politicians, representatives and all citizens are far from likely to be users of the most secure communication methods during their lives and the holding of their information is a complete affront to the democratic process.

I think it has got to the point, all revelations considered, where we can't hope or assume any encryption is safe.

Technology can't prevent this, we must change laws. Which at present, seems almost as unlikely.
