Dear Becky,
One year ago today, the way we think about the Internet changed forever.
Edward Snowden blew the whistle on one of the worst human rights abuses in history: the U.S. government has been secretly monitoring our phone calls, webcams, texts, chats, real-time location, and reading habits -- literally everything we do online and with our phones.
Finally, there’s something you can do about it that will make a difference right now.
In the year since we first learned the lurid details of the NSA’s dragnet spying operation, a massive wave of opposition has echoed across the globe. Millions have taken action online and in the streets with one clear message: mass surveillance by any government is illegitimate. It violates our right to be ourselves, and undermines freedom of speech and democracy.
Despite the massive public outcry, a whole year after the revelations Congress has done nothing. The NSA is still tapping our phones and computers, while politicians endlessly debate our rights away.
We have to power to protect our privacy -- and reclaim the Internet – right now. The Snowden documents show that the NSA is relentless and corrupt, but they're not invincible. We know encryption works -- the proof is in the fact that the U.S. government still doesn’t know what documents Edward Snowden took.
Most of us haven’t tried using privacy tools yet. We use the Internet and feel icky knowing the government is watching and recording our every move. But the reality is that it’s easier than you think to take a few simple steps and protect your privacy and the privacy of your loved ones. The more of us that use basic encryption tools, the safer we all are.
Today thousands of people -- and some of the most popular websites and apps on the web -- are taking concrete steps to secure their part of the Internet and make suspicionless, dragnet-style surveillance exponentially more difficult and expensive for governments to conduct.
Today we’re coming together to make a better, safer web, and a better, freer world. Everyone has a role to play. Tell your friends.
For the Internet,
-Evan, Tiffiniy, and Holmes
