@bodhipaine Make a list of what you rely on today from the big five, and then figure out the one which will be the easiest and cheapest thing to tackle. Come back to the others as you have time/energy/money.

In the meantime research alternatives on the list. Take a look at lists like https://prism-break.org/en/all and https://github.com/anitwek/alternatives-to-us and others.

All Projects - PRISM Break

Opt out of global data surveillance programs like PRISM, XKeyscore and Tempora. Help make mass surveillance of entire populations uneconomical! We all have a right to privacy, which you can exercise today by encrypting your communications and ending your reliance on proprietary services.

@trashheap This is a great list, thank you.
