I don't think it's futile. So many people think it's impossible to protect privacy, when really it isn't. It's true that not a lot of people have the TOOLS they need to keep their privacy. But it doesn't mean that the technology isn't out there.

Don't let big government fool you into thinking that they're more powerful than you.

One example of what you can do to protect yourself is use tor to browse the internet. You can also set up a hushmail for encrypted emails. You can also just use a proxy to surf the internet so no one knows your IP address. That's just scratching the surface, there is a lot that I don't know either.

Plus, Anonymous has been around for a long time without getting caught, and they must find some way to communicate to each other without the government catching on.

I think the government purposely wants us to think the internet is something they can control and that we are subject to them. They can't, which is why piracy still exists to a huge extent despite all the laws and efforts against it.
