NSA Whstleblower Edward Snowden says he doesn't want to live anywhere, where his life is recorded.
The spying issue is of course about privacy (and far more) but re-enforces the need for security in transactions online - whether by email, text, phone, social media.
Not just as ordinary citizens but clearly, as businesses. A breach of business security could of course, cost millions nevermind the Government knowing what you're up to.
Consequently, a very smart move by Peter Sunde, a founder of 'Pirate Bay' to start thinking of a "bullet proof" App which would allow total secrecy in conversations. Called heml.is (he's Swedish) it's a messaging platform that no one can spy on (https://heml.is/)
It's being crowd funded at the moment looking to get 100k usd for development. And frankly, it's inspired.
There's a huge market for secrecy now following the Snowden revelations and no more so then for business, who will pay a premium for it.
Every cloud and all that.
Somebody is thinking all the time.
