If you attempt to close any backdoors you'll only bring suspicion to yourself. For example using tcpcrypt, you'll only be flagging yourself as an anomaly possibly worthy of inspection.
99.9% of people don't know and don't care about this sort of stuff, you can always thank the bottom of the barrel
Voting is essentially a joke to begin with, it's always the same families you're voting for, anyone else who rises up in popularity can be coerced out of their position.

This is stupid, targeting individuals at 'random' is pointless and won't help anything. There is no way to tell whether or not a Character even holds a specific view that they portray. It's called acting for a reason, and this is why "faking it until you make it" is so popular.

All that matters post Snowden Revelations is Game Theory - as if this isn't how it's always been. It doesn't even matter what he says now, he has established himself as a Character. Whether he's even a legitimate individual is irrelevant. The fact that he and WikiLeaks both choose to release their documents over time instead of in a single dump gives them the advantage of having or following a script. The only ones who don't know what's on those documents are the public. There honestly doesn't seem to be a reason to trust either party and I doubt either will ever be in any real danger unless they so choose so, because that's all people seem to want in life is to be remembered after death.
The only thing that could ever work is individuals in power promoting a strictly decentralized or public society. Yet, this will never happen because High School never ends, and someone always wants to run the show. So, if the whole worlds a stage how come you aren't looking at the stars?
