- Protest? Recent events have shown the media will simply turn face and demonize us as pariahs.
- Activism? When faced with the backlash from "I have nothing to hide....you must have something to hide," most people don't know how to respond to this logical fallacy[0]
- Spreading Awareness? Now this is something I can get behind. But tell me how one goes "greyhat" and explains himself to authorities. AFAIK, even POTUS is given sec disclosures and does nothing on them.
Finally you have to consider the sheer amount of young folks, men and women, who are now earning their livelihoods from this same issue. I scoff at it as a developer, but I can't harp on the vast numbers of unemployed seeking ad revenue on their blogs (which goes hand and hand with massive corporate surveillance) as a way to make money and support themselves.
