神马 - 云代码空间
—— 任何傻瓜都能写出计算机可以理解的代码,好的程序员能写出人能读懂的代码。
不要使用苹果、谷歌Chrom和微软Windows等操作系统和浏览器等产品,以避免自己的上网行为和个人信息被上传到棱镜项目中,被呈报给美国政府。
这份清单以包括英文、日语、繁体中文将近20种语言呈现,全面涵盖了操作系统、浏览器、浏览器外挂、搜索引擎、DNS服务供应商、网络支付、邮件服务、桌面邮件客户端、电子邮件加密、地图服务、云存储空间、社交网络、即时通讯、视频会议、内容发布媒体平台、文件协作、网站访问量分析、各种Android相关应用,各种苹果iOS相关应用等等,几乎涵盖了美国所有重要的互联网公司的核心产品与应用。清单推荐了数量更多的替代应用,基本上都是开源项目和产品。
这项替代工程浩大无比,显然超越了普通用户的能力。但是,它起码可以清晰地告诉人们:作为网民之一,我们的安全和隐私几乎毫无保障。美国政府联手美国企业构建的全球监控体系,已经是一个无所不在的数据情报联合体。
Proprietary | Free alternative | Notes | |
---|---|---|---|
Operating system |
|
|
Apple, Google, and Microsoft are a part of PRISM. Their proprietary operating systems cannot be trusted to safeguard your personal information from the NSA.This leaves us with two free alternatives: GNU/Linux andBSD.GNU/Linux has a much larger community to help you with the transition. It's recommended that you begin your explorations by looking for a GNU/Linux distribution that suits your needs.Why not Ubuntu? Ubuntu is a poor choice because it contains spyware.Note: PRISM Break recommends the no-codecs edition ofLinux Mint, as the other editions are encumbered with software patents. More info. |
Android OS |
|
|
CyanogenMod licensing: “CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.” —WikipediaF-Droid is a free alternative to the Google Play app store. |
iOS |
|
|
iOS is insecure, and unfortunately there aren't a lot of free encryption apps available for iOS either. It's also impossible to verify whether an iOS app was compiled from the original source. |
Web browser |
|
|
Use a combination of Tor Browser and a free web browser of your choice to the surf the web.Try to use Tor Browser as often as possible. Browsing is slower with Tor, but far more secure.Note: Mozilla Firefox is technically not completely free software, as Mozilla recommends non-free add-ons on their website. |
Web browser add-ons |
|
Safeguard your privacy and stop websites from tracking you by installing Adblock Edge, Disconnect, HTTPS Everywhere, and NoScript in your browser.Why not Adblock Plus? Adblock Plus shows “acceptable ads” by default, and uses more memory than Adblock Edge.Why not Ghostery? Ghostery is a proprietary plugin. UseDisconnect instead. | |
Web search |
|
|
Startpage is proprietary, hosted in the USA/Netherlands, and provides you with anonymized Google search results (including images).DuckDuckGo is partly proprietary, hosted in the USA, and provides you with anonymized Bing search results.Pick your poison. |
Email services |
|
|
Riseup is hosted in the USA, in case that matters.Why not Hushmail? See “compromises to email privacy”. |
Email desktop clients |
|
|
Note: Mozilla Thunderbird is technically not completely free software, as Mozilla recommends non-free add-ons on their website. |
Email encryption |
|
“Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) is a data encryption and decryption computer program that provides cryptographic privacy and authentication for data communication. PGP is often used for signing, encrypting and decrypting texts, e-mails, files, directories and whole disk partitions to increase the security of e-mail communications.”— Wikipedia | |

|
|

Instant messaging |

Be sure to look at Cryptocat in the Web browser add-ons section as well. |

|
The Bitcoin blockchain is a decentralized, public ledger of all transactions in the Bitcoin network.“It may be the TCP/IP of money.” —Paul Buchheit |

Cloud storage |
|
|
Why not MEGA? While MEGA is free as in beer, the software is proprietary code.Why not SpiderOak? SpiderOak is proprietary software.Why not Tarsnap? Tarsnap is partially proprietary and hosts your data on Amazon Web Services. |

|
