EFF’s Game Plan for Ending Global Mass Surveillance

What can the Electronic Frontier Foundation do to protect the billions of people outside the United States who are victims of the National Security Agency’s spying? We’re laying out the plan, so you can understand how all the pieces fit together -- that is, how US advocacy and policy efforts connect to the international fight and vice versa:
1) Pressure technology companies to harden their systems against NSA surveillance
2) Create a global movement that encourages user-side encryption
3) Encourage the creation of secure communication tools that are easier to use
4) Reform Executive Order 12333
5) Develop guiding legal principles around surveillance and privacy with the help of scholars and legal experts worldwide
6) Cultivate partners worldwide who can champion surveillance reform on the local level, and offer them support and promotion
7) Stop NSA overreach through impact litigation and new US laws
8) Bring transparency to surveillance laws and practices
