THE ELECTRONIC FRONTIER FOUNDATION has opened a web site designed to help you keep the government from get its grubby mitts on your hard-drive today.
EFF Senior Staff Attorney Kevin Bankston said the Surveillance Self-Defence project offers citizens a legal and technical toolkit with tips on how to defend themselves in case the government attempts to search, steal, subpoena or spy on their most private data.
The site can be found here if the spooks have not already taken it down as a threat to national security. µ

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? See http://perry4lawgroups.blogspot.com/2009/03/private-defense-in-cyberspace-against.html for more.
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?

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.
