What are your choices?
Microsoft got into bed with the NSA in the late 1990's.
IPSEC was developed by the NSA.
Currently even Random entropy is broken? Entropy is the basis of all
cryptography which we layer over all of our currently broken Darpa
developed internet protocols?
Since 2001, we cannot even gain information about our own intelligence files
from the federal government due to the post 911 Presidential or Executive
Order.
Be assured that even if you use a "Anonymous browser" that a great deal of
information about you is available to the DHS through cross reference
databases, Akamai caching, and internet taps.
Cisco, Google and other companies interact with the NSA also.
The Army is developing a private cloud APC2 for information gathering; India
and USA-NSA are collaborating on data collection and mass databases.

If I can see your information, imagine what the big NSA/DHS computers have?
ALL of your online actions (porn, viagra, sedition or gun trading, financial
banking, insurance, mortgages, public records) are all instantly available
to government staff neatly organized in areas of probability for
accurateness and given tags for various cross referenced and tracked things
(chomo, drugs, politics, guns). Of course up until the 1990's/2001, a
great deal of misinformation went into the mix; people pled to charges
rather than fight them because there was no consequences really [No
employment background check or public records anyone could get with $39.99],
and innocent people have gotten six degrees of involvement with Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms; or kiddy porn (sharing a house with someone surfing
shared computers); but the data does for the most part allow the Feds, State
and local investigators to enforce the peace (or did you think they didn't
actually watch people before arresting them)!
ALL of your movements via your auto license plate are tracked via PLATE
readers.
ALL of your movements via your Passport are tracked via RFID readers (they
contain a chip/strip).
Good luck with your idealism.
A good deal of money has gone into developing all this, BECAUSE IT WAS
NEEDED.
A good deal of money is expanding it now internationally, BECAUSE IT IS
NEEDED.
