We want our internet back

[FluffyMcDeath]

By subverting the internet at every level to make it a vast, multi-layered and robust surveillance platform, the NSA has undermined a fundamental social contract. The companies that build and manage our internet infrastructure, the companies that create and sell us our hardware and software, or the companies that host our data: we can no longer trust them to be ethical internet stewards.
This is not the internet the world needs, or the internet its creators envisioned. We need to take it back.

Occupy The Internet

The whole system is compromised - it looks like the NSA has access to all the keys and uses them to do man in the middle attacks on secure connections. Coupled with the fact that a large percentage of the servers of interest are in the US and that so much of the traffic is routed through the US, it's not too surprising that other countries are looking to build around it.
