Time to ramp up the use of encryption programs, if only to fuck with the system.

What I can't help but wonder is how this affects those of us who are outside the United States and therefore outside the jurisdiction of both the FCC and the FBI. So far as I know, neither the CRTC nor CSIS have any sort of similar program.
Meh. If you're that paranoid, there are plenty of commercially available encryption programs designed to impede just that sort of covert surveillance. Better yet (and not to repeat myself, but) you could simply not post anything online that you don't want to be publicly available.
