Recently I have been hearing a lot about government surveillance in the USA. My initial thoughts were very negative because I feel that my personal data should be kept private, but after some thought I realized that it is my fault for trusting these companies, who for "legitimate" reasons may need to turn my data over to the government. If I trust them that far I shouldn't be too surprised when they turn that same data over without a proper request from the government.
Throughout this post I will be discussing ways to keep your information private no matter what these laws allow.
