#2Nice quote at the end. One could argue: "I am my data. My data is me, but it is not mine".

#5It's weird how William Binney was actually correct. He went on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast about a year or two back and pretty much summed up exactly what we've seen with the NSA from the Snowden leak.
I remember the amount of commenters that were calling him a 'conspiracy nut' and trying to disprove him. Turns out he was correct.

#6> A tool called PRISM ... is sucking in data directly from the big Internet companies to do much the same thing that Binney warned about when he described "Stellar Wind." Rather than going to Internet companies piecemeal with search warrants and requests...
Huh? This is exactly what PRISM isn't/wasn't. It absolutely was not unfettered access to social networks or other websites, it WAS piecemeal requests by agencies.

Here's a clip from that podcast. This particular link is a video they aired on the podcast - not an actual interview of Binney by Joe Rogan. It looks like the clips are the same ones from the story linked-to from this post.

#8I was hoping this would be instructions on how to install a package on your own server to do facebook-like functions between your friends over https.

I wonder why the episode isn't available on Joe's RSS feed.

If that's what you want, look up Elgg.
What I hope someone creates, is something like Elgg but where the concept of public and private keys is used somehow, so that whoever controls the server where it's hosted doesn't have access to the users' content. Or even better, some form of peer-to-peer social network so that the central server could be dropped entirely, and users would just rely on clients on their trusted machines.
