At some point, we're gonna have to stop pretending "Silicon Valley" is still built on silicon and come up with another name for the place. (Maybe, "Private Surveillance Valley".)

It's not clear but I think he's saying because you use gmail you are contributing one to these surveillance companies.

Not that it matters since this was flagged to death, but it's amusingly hypocritical to talk about "Private Surveillance Valley" (not-so-subtly referring to Google in this particular thread) and yet go on using an @gmail.com address.
