Hi bob3160,
Absolutely nothing, and that is why the topic should not have been started in the first place. Because it is nonsense. However these are the misinterpretations that originate from this nsa-fallout that make some posters take the blame at everything that they suspect of surveillance and privacy intrusion. The right climate was created and now the question is how to get “Alladin’s ghost back into the lamp” again, it is sheer impossible. On the other hand if not found out the situation would have continued unnoticed and we would have trusted a security backdoored and security downgraded internet, now we are aware at least it was and is one big retrieval system for the government and commerce alike. That avast has no part in this, just as the average person on the internet, is evident, but some users cannot or will not see that They see danger luring from behind every tree and shrub while their cables are being tapped into, their data hoovered into a mass surveillance data base and what have you,
Damian
