		<description><![CDATA[Good question.  One option is VPN&#039;s (virtual privacy networks).  Although even that isn&#039;t safe now.  The critique I&#039;ve heard is that it doesn&#039;t prevent live-streaming hacks. I mean, a company can say till they&#039;re blue in the face &quot;we delete browsing and data history and cookies,&quot; but that doesn&#039;t prevent a source from the outside that is trained in cryptography to hack in and see live streaming data (nor does one know if they truly aren&#039;t storing user info). Furthermore, as Snowden has shown, even the IETF, an open organization that develops and promotes Internet standards, has been infiltrated by NSA; which has in turn watered down what could be tougher crypto standards.

What&#039;s important right now though, I think, is informing an otherwise disinformed public.  I don&#039;t think many citizens see this as being much of a threat because their media diet consists of either MSNBC or FOX, which both propagate agendas.  And without voices that question and criticize the govt, you have a situation where corruption prevails.  

What troubles me more than anything isn&#039;t so much that my shit is being hacked but that we can&#039;t see what our own public representatives are doing behind the scenes with our taxpayer money (whether it&#039;s the drone program or warrantless wiretaps).  The inverse ought to be true, if we lived in a real republic.]]></description>
