Honestly, I don't think they're going to stop watching, at least, they won't stop watching in the online equivalent of public spaces and malls. But the secrecy of the program, and uncertainly about how the data will be used, is sufficient to warrant concern, especially when the data is extended to include things like health and education. Anyhow, some recent coverage:
- Mozilla's StopWatching.Us campaign
- Top Ten Ways the US Government will Smear, Slight Whistleblower Edward Snowden - Juan Cole
- Spy agencies have turned our digital lives inside out. We need to watch them - Globe and Mail
- Edward Snowden: the whistleblower behind the NSA surveillance revelations - Guardian
- The Problem Is the Oversight, Not the NSA's Data Gathering - Harvard Business Review
- The Media's Sound and Fury Over NSA Surveillance - Forbes / Larry Downes
- Looking at Education Through a New Prism and The End of the Techno–Utopia - Clarence Fisher
- Owning your own data is cool but having your own awesome site is cooler - Ben Werdmuller
Why these resources? These are the ones I thought offered some insight or original point of view.
