If you don&#x27;t want the NSA to invade your privacy, it&#x27;s easy. Just don&#x27;t use the internet or email.<p>That isn&#x27;t a real solution, just like &quot;opt out of google&quot; or &quot;opt out of facebook&quot; isn&#x27;t a real solution. When a corporation has a monopoly it&#x27;s as powerful as a government in that area but with zero accountability or transparency.<p>The concern here is power. The people in government choosing how to use their power are elected or responsible to someone elected. On the other hand the power structure of a corporation is a dictatorship. Pretending you can theoretically choose to not participate in society and avoid corporate control so their power isn&#x27;t real power is naive.
