[wplug] [wplug-announce] Reset the Net

[Justin Smith]

Tomorrow, WPLUG, along with likeminded organizations such as the Free 
Software Foundation (FSF), the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), and 
DuckDuckGo, will participate in Reset the Net[1], a campaign to literally 
reset the way we use the Internet in the post-Snowden era. 

Nobody is immune to scrutiny from the NSA surveillance machine. Thanks 
to document disclosures from Edward Snowden, we know that the US 
government is building profiles of people's private lives in the name of 
"national security." As Orwellian as it sounds, it's true: Big Brother is 
watching you.

Fortunately, there is something you can do about it. You can use open 
source software to protect your personal information. We'll show you how. 
>From your computer to your smartphone, protect it all. Even if that doesn't 
stop the NSA, you'll make its job a whole lot less pleasant. There's no room 
for government backdoors in peer-reviewed code.

Tomorrow, visit ResetTheNet.org[2] or WPLUG's site[3] to learn how you can 
use open source software to protect your privacy. If you're interested in a 
more hands-on security event where we go over this stuff in-person, be 
sure to let the WPLUG board[4] know. We're still planning our event 
schedule for the summer.

Don't ask for your privacy. Take it back.
