After class last thursday we discussed some very simple steps you can take to resist (corporate) surveillance while browsing the web. Below is a writeup of prof. Moglen's suggestions.
Line: 32 to 32
 Also I remember prof. Moglen talked about TrackMeNot, which obscures the search terms you used on google, yahoo etc by randomly searching for other words when you conduct a search.

In addition to these plugins, I also use Privacy badger: https://www.eff.org/privacybadger

which complements Adblock Plus and eliminates more advanced cross-site tracking mechanisms.

Another aspect of defeating surveillance is end-to-end encryption. If you would like to start encrypting your email, two good friends of mine have implemented a PGP-based encryption method that runs in your browser (there are issues with this, but they have done a good job to mitigate many of them). Check out

https://keybase.io

and let me know if you want an invite.

I am also happy to give a simple demonstration of GPG and its various plugins.

You can then send Moglen encrypted messages using his key: http://old.law.columbia.edu/moglen.key

which I am sure will delight (or annoy) him. You will fortunately have deniability with respect to either motive.
