Americans, how do you feel about being stored in a database by government agencies like the NSA? (sh.itjust.works)

Every search you make, email you send, text message, voice chat, location, and most likely the conversations you have in your own home are monitored and stored in a database for whoever knows how long (probably forever). When I hear land of the free, I immediately think bullshit. We are slowly losing our freedoms, what can we do to prevent this? I mean, when Edward Snowden dropped the leaks, people protested, but barely anything changed. What can we do? This post not only applies to Americans, your own government in another country may possibly does the same thing. Feel free to comment!

Agreed! It takes a lot of resources, but saying "Fuck You!" my way feels so good..

having my main "phone" unmoved in the same place for the last 3 years and with the lowest interactions possible on it... No SIM, No eSIM, nothing... (plus many other hard tricks)

Measure that you bloddy data horders!

One drop in a full bucket may mean a lot of it is the last drop!
