Protection from the Nation State Actors cannot come from companies. One must implement protections on one's own client-side. Proper encryption always. Tor when needed. Software and, where possible, hardware only from trusted sources.

Even then the concept of "trusted sources" is a dubious one. A source only needs to be trusted until it sells you down the river.

We need more than "trust". We need open software and open hardware.
