Former employees of the NSA (National Security Agency) which has now become a whistleblower and privacy activists, Edward Snowden suggested that Internet users away from services Facebook, Google, and Dropbox.
All three according to Snowden is a social networking service, Internet, and cloud which although popular today and used all over the world, but those services are services that are harmful in terms of data protection and privacy.
Speaking during a remote video conference at The New Yorker Festival event, Snowden, who was in hiding in Russia the share tips for users, how to avoid potentially citing data service users.
What makes it ironic, Snowden did the video conversation sessions with one of Google's services, namely Hangouts and YouTube.
As for the cloud storage service, Dropbox, Snowden said that the service has a less secure encryption. Data sent via Dropbox is encrypted both during transmission or while in transit, but using third-party applications.
Snowden also urged internet service users aware of their rights and the dangers of those services to their privacy. "When you say do not have anything to hide, then you are no longer concerned about your rights," he said .
Therefore, Snowden recommends users switch to other services such as RedPhone or Silent Circle instead of relying on the default SMS service. He also would welcome if the encryption on smartphones further enhanced.
