Yes but you do have to sacrifice quite a bit to be outside of the NSA's realm of observability. Is iMessage securely encrypted? Wasn't the DEA caught red-handed with a false memo claiming they couldn't MITM iMessage communication?

Very true. That's a consequence of the largest players in winner-take-all markets being targeted.

By MITM you think a guy with a hard drive sitting in the middle of the Apple HQ siphoning data directly to NSA? Yes, I could imagine that.

"In Snowden we trust" - the internet
It's sad that the NSA and government has lost the faith of Americans to the point that the word of one man is taken without question.

Well, Mr "nsashill42334", account under 24 hours old, I don't think that Mr Snowden should be trusted without question. However it seems unlikely that he is setting out to dupe people into using encryption for some reason or other.
I do not think that this statement is accurate. The NSA has specifically targeted the largest players.
Also: "encryption works. Properly implemented strong crypto systems are reliable" - Edward Snowden.
