44 <h3>Join the movement
</h3>
46 <p>You've just taken a huge step towards protecting your privacy online. But each of us acting alone isn't enough. To topple bulk surveillance, we need to build a movement for the autonomy and freedom of all computer users. Join the Free Software Foundation's community to meet like-minded people and work together for change:

85 <p>If you are using Windows, Mac OS or any other proprietary operating system, the biggest single step you can make is to switch to a free software operating system like GNU/Linux. This will make it much harder for attackers to enter your computer through hidden back doors. Check out the Free Software Foundation's
