6 Anti-NSA Technological Innovations That May Just Change The World

Rather than grovel and beg for the U.S. government to respect our privacy, these innovators have taken matters into their own hands, and their work may change the playing field completely.

People used to assume that the United States government was held in check by the constitution, which prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures and which demands due process in criminal investigations, but such illusions have evaporated in recent years. It turns out that the NSA considers itself above the law in every respect and feels entitled to spy on anyone anywhere in the world without warrants, and without any real oversight.

Understandably these revelations shocked the average citizen who had been conditioned to take the government’s word at face value, and the backlash has been considerable. The recent “Today We Fight Back” campaign to protest the NSA’s surveillance practices shows that public sentiment is in the right place. Whether these kinds of petitions and protests will have any real impact on how the U.S. government operates is questionable (to say the least), however some very smart people have decided not to wait around and find out. Instead they’re focusing on making the NSA’s job impossible. In the process they may fundamentally alter the way the internet operates.

  1. Decentralized social media – Vole.cc 
  2. Getsync decentralized and encrypted file sharing – A Dropbox alternative
  3. Decentralized & encrypted communications – Bittorrent Chat 
  4. Decentralized websites 
  5. Anti-NSA phones – Blackphone
  6. Fully encrypted email 

You gotta love the internet.  I can’t vouch with how secure this all is.  If you go to the link above there is more details.  My only concern being that I’m not sure there isn’t any information out here online that the NSA couldn’t get to.  Perhaps I am just pessimistic.  If true though, these tools would help you keep them out for awhile at least.

  • No link shown.

    • Try using your search engine on the sites he referred to, I.E: vole.cc/getsync, etc. Personally I wouldn’t use gaggle as your SE.

  • you really think you are save dont you? xD NSA and Google will suck your code with their new baby called Quantum Computer and spit it decoded out – in a second =DD you cant beat them in their own created environment. they make you think you can – but you never were or wont be able to =)
