Everyone is under government surveillance now – Snowden

I2P is a solution of this problem.

I am hearing a lot about the Invisible Internet Project (I2P) lately. How is it any more secure when compared to the TOR browser. I thought that TOR was very much safe and secure.  

Haha, there is nothing safe and secure when comes to digital data. Everything can be traced, spied and stolen. If someone really wanted to know what you are doing there is no way to stop them.

I2P and Tor are both low-latency Chaum mix-nets and thus both subject to timing attacks by the NSA. I2P may be more peer oriented whereas Tor's servers are likely compromised (Q: who provides all this server bandwidth for free? A: the NSA). I could provide citations for this, but google provide them for you too.

Bottom line is that we need a complete redesign of the internet. And it needs to be as easy to use as a mouse click and you're done.

Sadly, I doubt they'll really go through with it. They probably want the positive publicity associated with it, but are either powerless to carry through with it or unwilling to do so... after all, it would cost them money to put up a real fight. Also, they have probably seen what happened to the few companies that tried that already. 

Still it is good news that they are at least giving a fight on it. The NSA is not having everything as easy as they had earlier. Their reputation is tarnished as a result of the revelations by Snowden, and the public is against them.

You're right, it is good news. And the companies feeling they have to at least pretend to care means they're afraid of what it could do to their bottom line if they don't. I guess what I was trying to say is we shouldn't put too much trust in them nonetheless, and we should continue looking for alternatives, as much a possible; after all, the information being kept by them is still accessible through other means by the NSA or other "competent" third parties.
