Now, that Donald Trump has been elected as the 45th President of the United States of America, it has raised several concerns. In the past two days, we’ve heard how it could affectnet neutrality, broadband expansion and so on. Another wave of concern is over government surveillance and encryption. According to SiliconBeat, many tech companies are worried to the extent, they are considering moving their servers out of the country.
To be fair, there is no dearth of spying tools in the country and Democrats have been facing a flak for sometime now. However, many are concerned this may only increase in the Trump administration. If you remember Trump had called on Apple to let the FBI break into the device of the San Bernardino shooter. But, more bizarre was asking people to boycott Apple products.
With people fearing Trump could abuse his power, many have begun tweeting out security measures.
Hey, no joke, and I'm paraphrasing smarter people. If you plan on opposing Trump:Get Tor.
Get Signal.
Get a VPM

Meanwhile, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has said that if Trump decides to follow some of the things he has said about tracking Muslims in the United States, then it would be against the law. Edward Snowden, the whistle blower, speaking from Moscow said that those worried about surveillance shouldn’t worry about Trump as they are the ones who can make a change. He also said that people should save themselves from surveillance instead of being worried about Trump.
