Practicalities of Fighting for a Free Internet
summary
Claims mass surveillance is systemic: NSA “collect it all,” courts take years to reverse laws, and commercial pressure made donations drop to zero when payment processors and DNS providers cut service. Countermeasures that worked include mirrors kept sites alive and Tor relays, but scalability, diversity and usability remain weak. Priorities are a serverless encrypted chat and multi-person end-to-end tools, a usable desktop TextSecure integration, a Tor-first asynchronous email alternative (Pond-like), and peer-to-peer file sync that avoids cloud uploads.
