I think the NSA is blocking certain posts these days. You know , someone says yahoo has this really great encryption that's going to stop the NSA dead , you try to post a comment that this all started because the FBI showed up at Lavabit's front door with a court order for the encryption keys so they could read not just Edward Snowdens email , but everyone elses too , and suddenly you can't post.
You try to read this article on the various (useless) plans the USA has for doing nothing but looking like they're doing something , meanwhile in the back ground there's this video going on of Obama repeating over and over again that America has no interest in what the common man is doing (despite 10 months of news of the NSA trying to "get it all" , every byte of information from everywhere) and you can't turn it off no matter what you do ... Gawd I really cant stand listening to that lying plick another second !
Then the artical about Black Berry breaking up with T-Mobile , and they're saying it's because Blackberry is having an unreasonable hissy fit , but I'm thinking (and trying to comment) that it's because the NSA broke their encryption and is trying it again , and is probably demanding they hand over the encryption keys or you can't sell Black Berries anymore in the USA, but don't tell anyone that or it's 10 years in jail thanks to the American "Secret" laws that have been in the paper soon. But can I post that ? No ... the post button suddenly doesn't work.
And now they're threatenning to sue Europe because Europe wants to build a network that's just for themselves and doesn't pass through America. Apparently , trying to stop americans from spying on you is a violation of american free trade agreements.
And then theres those idiots who think that by selling off parts of the internet to private parties America is giving up too much of it to foriegners. Hello ? We don't want your NSA infested internet. We don't trust it. We want to start our own that doesn't go anywhere near your junk.
I think they deliberately want to piss off the whole world. Normally , when a criminal gets caught , he lays low for a while. He doesn't stand up and give you the middle finger and say "Screw you ! I aint gonna stop ! "
Which seems to be exactly what the americans are doing.

This is a really great article man, I'm a big fan. It's not paranoid to think the NSA is spying on you because they actually are..
I'd recommend using HTTPS Everywhere (an extension for Chrome and Firefox) and getting a secure email address - I work for Lavaboom.com so I have to suggest it (it is super good though).
Keep writing! If you have a Twitter account I'd love to follow you and hear more of your thoughts, hit me up anytime @billfranklinuk or @lavaboomhq.

Using a single encryption protocol everywhere means that after NSA breaks that encryption protocol , the web might as well be unencryted.
I admire your sentiments , but it isn't so easy as you think to avoid the NSA.
