Haxxors, what can we lay people with no computationalizing skills do?

Get informed, and inform.

Then, one can hope, the government might actually be forced to engage in meaningful discussion about whether their ridiculously expensive and obviously damaging espionage programs make sense.

It's far more likely that this data was willingly shared by an application developer who was the victim of a crime the FBI is investigating.

Not everything is a government conspiracy.

"Get informed, and inform." Straight up manifesto material. Gratzi!

"...engage in meaningful discussion.." It's hard to engage in meaningful dialogue with people who are so entrenched in their own views (BIG$$,BIGOIL,BIGGOVV-types) but we shall continue!

Refuse to give personal information and carry minimal personal information in devices and websites outside of one's control.

If they don't have it, it cannot leak.

One question... where are these people usually, where do they talk? IRC? Random server in the outback? Encrypted channels?

Get pissed off.
