Ever since news broke out about the NSA and other organizations tracking the public on the internet, I thought there would be a major rise in services that protect you from being tracked, in other words, be taking "off the grid". i.e. snapchat
You may have missed the point.<p>Signing up for more services would be exactly the opposite of getting off the grid.<p>Instead, do things like hosting your own email, use an OpenPGP card to access any Linux servers you run, stop using Facebook and Gmail, etc.
