Remember that a commercial VPN does not shield you from Pyramid.
need to hear more on pyramid now.
I'M SO SORRY I MEANT PRISM
PRISM is what you need to worry about, regarding protecting your online activity. I don't think Pyramid is a thing, I was just mixing up the similar P words.
Prism is the thing to investigate then. For a quick start I went with a VPN service s8nce I am not a big player. But will be looking to get for real soon.
So there's the movie by the guy who made "JFK", I think it's just called "Snowden", which if you want the easy, candy-coated Hollywoodified version to start off with, isn't terrible. Some people diss on the practice, but I think it's fine to use some candy to ease your brain into doing the independent research and the hard study on some big, complicated practice. You just have to actually move on to the main course and not make your entire meal candy.
I mention the movie JFK so you will be prepared for a slick production with some fun turns by recognized actors (the highlight is Nicolas Cage as a CompSci professor) that gives you a basic overview of the agreed upon facts, what happened, but then just kind of makes up the bit where the characters explain how it happened.
