It doesn't matter what processor vendor and/or operating system you use: as long as your Internet is through a US owned and operated company you're getting spied on, even if you use the swiss cheese security blanket known as encryption. The only solution to state-actor mass surveillance is obscurity through dilution. Anything else is copium.
