Re: Is it possible for individuals to avoid being monitored by Government agencies?

it is possible to dramatically reduce the monitoring surface of any given 
entity, however in todays environment, such 
avoidance comes at a significant cost.   If one is prepared to abandon 
electronic communications, a huge step forward
in anonymity is taken.  One can not have ones cake and eat it also.

It's not realistically possible for an individual who is being targeted for 
monitoring by government agencies of any major government to avoid being 
monitored.   It is (maybe) possible for individuals who are not targeted to 
avoid being swept up in a monitoring dragnet, if they are careful about how 
they communicate online.
