Can't do it most of the time. Phone Email, nope. This page? Nope. FB well you could at one time but that was just eye wash.
Most personal email is sent via formats that don't support encryption of any form.

Good point Erik.
There is no PGP encrypt option in the pull down menus in my Apple Mail...hmm
Who talks to whom is a big part of what they collect but it's probably not a big deal to them to collect the content as well.
The government's claim that they thwarted terrorist plots I think must have also involved collecting the content. Anyway, Mr. Snowdon's revelations is a heads-up to people to encrypt and hide their content in better ways. The government's job is much easier if people believe they don't or can't collect this stuff...
