PRISM edits

Hi Kulturdenkmal. I wanted to let you know that I reverted your edits to PRISM (surveillance program). Wikipedia does not allow original research. Additionally, the information added wasn't of the type you'd find in an encyclopedia, which Wikipedia is. Please see WP:NOTADVOCATE and WP:NOTMANUAL for more information on these policies. I'm sure people searching for such methods will be able to find them at the appropriate sites through any search engine. Thanks for joining! Capscap (talk) 22:33, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

First, naming counter measures is just not "original research". Software such as GNU Privacy Guard or open source alternatives to Skype such as Jitsi are all well known. Its just important to name these counter measures in the PRISM article to increase awareness in the general public. Second, Wikipedia is an Open Source plattform - ofcourse you would expect to find open source alternatives in an open source encyclopedia. The purpose of an encyclopedia is to summarize the relevant information in the article and not to tell the users: Go and use Google (which is spying on you by the way) to find counter measures yourself if you have the chance to name the measures in the very article.
