Quite a good consideration of this is in:

The Stanford interview with her, about the book, was quite excellent:

it is possible to dramatically reduce the monitoring surface of any

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.

There is a question on if it is possible for individuals to avoid

check?
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.
