Today a broad campaign called Reset The Net has launched with the tagline “Don’t ask for Your privacy. Take it back.” Today also marks the one year anniversary of the Edward Snowden leaks that showed the extent of the NSA data collection and surveillance activities. Reset The Net is meant to be a citizen and corporate response that uses technological means to thwart the NSA and other agencies like it. The basics of Reset the Net are indisputably good practices. Sites should use SSL to avoid session highjacking and eavesdropping. People should know that there are tools for encrypting private communications as well as tools for anonymizing their access to the web.
