From: Adam Leibson If you hear friends grumbling about their lack of privacy, ask them if they're interested in attending a workshop on Email Self-Defense.

Each person who chooses to resist mass surveillance with encryption makes it easier for others to resist as well.

More people using it for more things also makes it harder for surveillance systems to single out those that can't afford to be found, and shows solidarity with those people.
