Anyone still using - Microsoft - Yahoo - Google - Facebook - PalTalk - AOL - Skype - YouTube - or Apple?

Yeah, I thought so.

EDIT: Seriously, downvoters: you NEED TO WAKE THE FUCK UP !

Okay, thanks for the teenage-level politics. What do you suggest as an actual alternative? How do you personally know those alternatives are safer or more secure? How would you construct a recommendation for a small or medium company that relies on Skype/MS Office/Google to use alternatives and how would you train non-tech savvy employees? With what time and money?

That's why people are downvoting you. Not because they disagree but because your comment provides no actual information.

Yes, because I actually carefully choose what I do online.

Good, continue to support the surveillance state with

- either your data

- and/or your money.

Sincerely, your NSA

But I am not giving them useful information, nor am I paying for those services.

You're still supporting them. They do get paid, and you figure into the usage statistics and eyeballs for which they get paid. Like it or not.
