  1090.  
  1091. It didn't start with Edward Snowden. The history of violations of privacy is a long one. In an attempt to be comprehensive as possible we have started gathering links suggested in comments to layout a brief history of known leaks that have come before.
  1092.  
  1093. For now we are sourcing the users directly who contributed the links as the links are not in any particular order. This is the newest addition to the wiki and will be undergoing formatting changes as the mods are able to gather more articles. All OPs are linked at the end of each post.

  1105. The [ECHELON system for intercepting voice communications](http://itlaw.wikia.com/wiki/Echelon) had been reported on as early as 1988.
  1106.  
  1107. Prior to 9/11, a report that NSA was looking at ways to tap into undersea fiber optic cables. <http://www.zdnet.com/news/spy-agency-taps-into-undersea-cable/115877>
  1108.  
  1109. [Former NSA official William Binney](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Binney_%28U.S._intelligence_official%29#Whistleblowing) went directly to the intelligence committee in October 2001 to inform them that the NSA was guilty of waste, fraud and abuse. When that didn't get him anywhere, he and some other folks in positions of power filed a complaint to the Inspector General of the DOD in 2002. His house was raided by the FBI on the same day as all the other folks who had signed the complaint.
  1110.  
  1111. December 2005, Russ Tice revealed [warrantless wiretapping by NSA & DIA.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russ_Tice#Whistleblower) January 2006, interview with Russ Tice: <http://reason.com/archives/2006/01/13/inside-the-puzzle-palace>

He had been told that similar rooms were in operation at other facilities across the country.
  1114.  
  1115. That same year, it was reported that [the NSA had been assembling a huge database of domestic phone call data.](http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/washington/2006-05-10-nsa_x.htm?imw=Y)

Given that between 2003 and 2005 the FBI issued more than 140,000 of the letters, it's reasonable to assume that this wasn't the only one issued to an ISP.
  1120.  
  1121. In June of 2007, internal FBI audit found that the bureau violated the rules for issuing NSLs more than 1000 times between 2002 and 2007. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_security_letter#cite_note-rte1-14>

  1125. In 2009, the government [acknowledged "the N.S.A. had been engaged in “overcollection” of domestic communications of Americans... on a scale that went beyond the broad legal limits established by Congress."](http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/16/us/16nsa.html)

  1127. In 2009, Senators who were members of the intelligence committee [introduced legislation to curb the powers given under the FISA Amendments Act.](http://www.wyden.senate.gov/news/press-releases/senators-introduce-patriot-act-fixes-to-safeguard-americans-rights)
  1128.  
  1129. Beginning in 2011, one of those Senators, Ron Wyden of Oregon, [started warning us,](http://www.wyden.senate.gov/news/press-releases/in-speech-wyden-says-official-interpretations-of-patriot-act-must-be-made-public) sometimes forcefully and right at the edge of legality given his position on the Senate Intelligence Committee, of NSA overreach.

  1383. Even with massive challenges to NSA activity, the US government will fight relentlessly against any efforts to expose the NSA, charge Clapper, or even reduce the current mass-surveillance activities. If you don't understand why the powers-that-be have this incentive, take a step back and look at what the NSA is offering to US leaders:
  1384.  
  1385. We're now in an information arms race.  But unlike other historical analogies that might be cited, the scale of our storage and processing capabilities are immense and extremely powerful, and that changes the game.  Simple private bits of our lives which we take for granted are now being stored indefinitely.  Things like:
  1386.  
  1387. * renting a sexy video
  1388. * calling an overseas relative
  1389. * emailing an off-color joke to a friend
  1390. * marital infidelity
  1391. * seeking help for depression
  1392. * signing a petition
  1393. * filing a grievance
  1394. * responding to a grievance
  1395.  
  1396. Whether it's a moment of indiscretion, or just an unfortunate circumstance is irrelevant.  Imagine that information in the hands of:
  1397.  
  1398. * your boss who wants to lower your wages
  1399. * a candidate who is opposing you for a council position
  1400. * your health insurer who wants to decline your health coverage
  1401. * a neighbor that doesn't like you
  1402. * a criminal or sociopath who wants to increase their own wealth and power
  1403. * the town gossip
  1404. * someone who wants to buy your house
  1405.  
  1406. **The development of *big-data* dramatically shifts the playing field in favor of those who can access information which is unavailable to the rest of us.**
  1407.  
  1408. Everyone has some expectation of privacy.  But the ever increasing portion of our lives which is being recorded by corporations/Government means that these records can be used to our disadvantage, at any time, now or at anytime in the future.  
  1409.  
  1410. The sustainable solution will require us to find policies which enable us to co-exist in this new world of big-data.  But we need to hang on long enough for our rather dysfunctional social systems and governments to evolve adequately. For this, we need to buy time by holding on to at least some of our digital privacy.  
  1411.  
  1412. Here are a few steps to make global surveillance more difficult.
  1413.  
  1414. * Start using encryption *routinely* (see technical measures, below).  This doesn't prevent spying, but it makes it quite a bit harder.  It also slows the erosion of privacy by making encryption the norm, not the exception.  Encrypt information at rest (eg, Truecrypt), and information in transit (eg, HTTPS Everywhere).
  1415. * Follow and support groups that are protecting your digital rights (see below).  These groups are the most organized digital advocates in existence.  But they need your moral support and your cash to do their job.
  1416. * Educate your neighbors, your friends, your colleagues.  US mainstream media is pretty lame, these days, so you need to help your fellow citizens, especially Americans, to understand what is at stake.  They're going to also have to get off their butts.
  1417. * Support good independent journalism.  Whether a blog, [The Guardian](http://www.guardian.co.uk/), or your local newspaper, a free-press is a necessary part of the Democratic process.
