How can we minimize NSA surveillance?

5 points by cpursley 13y ago ↗ HN

In light of the NSA spying situation, what replacement services out there can we use to legally minimize NSA surveillance without going off the grid?

duckduckgo search? Linux distros? TOR?

What else?

Not having a cell phone would probably be your best bet if your looking to hide something. If not, campaigning for a senator/congressman who will work on changing the current flawed NSA.

You can forward email and phone calls from services that provide a bit more privacy. For example, such services should allow to block the address/number from which the forwarded email/call come from; such services should be either free or collect payments via Bitcoin, and in general collect the minimum data required in order to provide such a service.

(I am new here and am not sure whether I can refer you to a service that we have built. When I tried to submit "Show HN" I was not permitted to post.)
