Privacy tools like this have existed for a long time, but this new service from the Pirate Bay will probably go a long way towards popularizing them. I'm conflicted, because I think these types of tools are necessary, that computer users **need** to learn about them to avoid intrusive surveillance, but I'm uncomfortable with it becoming popularized by its connection to an illegal activity. These tools, and the skills that use them will be essential in the future to avoid unlawful (or at least inappropriate) surveillance and to protect people from the malicious theft of data, but its association with the illegal just provides more fuel for those representing the other side of this digital arms race.
We are heading to a scary place here, and far sooner than I think even the cyberpunks expected it.
