On “Obama’s Remarks on NSA Controversy”

The modern version of that is "it's just the metadata." I don't think legislation is the solution to this though. The spying is done because it //can// be done. By using a web application administered by somebody else you have implicitly given them your access logs. The right solution is more along the lines of bringing the power home1, or friendly neighborhood colocation locations. If the Internet has 1M servers, they can monitor transmission at the large ones. If the Internet had 1B servers on it, they wouldn't be able to handle. 1 Talk by Eben Moglen about the Feedombox: link to this video
