Wary of Privacy Issues?

Government whistleblower Edward Snowden gave the public a few words of wisdom, and caution, during a Saturday night video interview for The New Yorker Festival. During the hour-long conversation with The New Yorker’s Jane Mayer, Snowden advised viewers to get rid of Dropbox, and to avoid using high-profile online services such as Facebook and Google, if they wanted to protect their privacy in the ever-more-informed Information Age.
During an audience Q&A, Snowden that people should “search for encrypted communication services” because they “enforce your rights.” He advised the public to be wary of online services that are “hostile to privacy,” specifically Facebook and Google and cloud storage service Dropbox, the latter of which doesn’t support encryption (although the company has said that its users privacy is a “top priority”). Snowden suggested using alternative storage services like SpiderOak, which does support encryption, although he was careful to mention that much of the technology the public needs hasn’t been invented or popularized yet.
Snowden also advised Americans to not send unencrypted texts via cell phones, and turn to secure services like Silent Circle and RedPhone. Even with increased encryption and security, Snowden insisted that no phone, even those running Apple’s latest version of iOS, is entirely safe from third-party intrusion. Major cell phone providers, including Verizon, AT&T and Apple, can be subpoenaed, and authorities can still request warrants that will grant them access to their suspect’s phones.
