Whoudn't it be useful to collect here a general list of all actions we can do against the surveillance? So that everyone could choose whatever is personally preferable. I would suggest to continue this list.

1. Use increasingly as much encryption as possible [0].

2. Use FOSS whenever possible and promote it.

3. Tell as many other people about it as you can [1].

[0] If we continuously make it increasingly harder for NSA, MOSAD, GCHQ and the rest of them to spy on us, we can increase the costs for such operations

[1] For example, like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEVlyP4_11M (via https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9327003)


If you have some concrete action in mind and want to rally people around it, you can use this: https://www.iwoulddo.it/
