Original Message
In light of the current situation of the complete surveillance grid and storage of personally identifiable information, it is important to collect a list of resources, tools, and strategies to improve privacy and mitigate (or at least slow down) the ability for corporations and/or governments to collect such data.
Nothing can be considered 100% secure or trusted.
