The role of a State is to preserve the person and property of its citizens from illegal and unauthorised intrusions. In the modern technological era this role has considerably changed. The State instead of protecting its citizens is trying to regulate their online conduct through e-surveillance. An important question that arises in this situation is whether the citizens can exercise right to self-defense against illegal eavesdropping and e-surveillance?

Although the legal stuff is aimed at an American audience the rest of the information and advice looks like a great resource to anyone interested in privacy in the surveillance age. There are some gaps in the information, e.g. VOIP, but this looks like the start of a very, very useful site! Thanks to the EFF for this one.

Did you even click the link to read the content?
Few will escape prosecution so the site is a waste of time and a false sense of security for the naive.
It looks like the site is down. Overload or the spooks?
