Sign the Pledge:

"On June 5, I will take strong steps to protect my freedom from government mass surveillance. I expect the services I use to do the same."

We need something like cert-pinning for all websites we visit, not just mobile apps. Because NSA may have compromised many or all of the certificate signing authorities, such as Verisign, etc..

Indeed. A very worthwhile initiative. This will be BIG and will hopefully have a positive impact in improving the awareness and usage of internet privacy and cryptography based tools. This should include Bitcoin and Alt. crypto-currencies !

Any doubters should checkout the historical projects and initiatives by Fight For The Future: https://www.fightforthefuture.org/

They helped fight SOPA, PIPA, CISPA and more! They also created The Internet Defense League: http://www.internetdefenseleague.org/ who's logo can be found on the homepage of the Tor Project, for example.

So, let's help to "Reset the Net" and get more people to use Bitcoin, Litecoin and other crypto-currencies !

+1.. This seems like a very worth while project and I will look into it starting now.  Will do my part to make others aware of the news, many thanks BitcoinFX.

"Don't ask for your privacy. Take it back."

"Governments have abused the Internet and twisted it beyond recognition. Now, we're taking it back. Are you in? Sign up to help Reset the Net."

This is a fantastic opportunity for the entire (security focused) crypto-currency community to take action in helping to promote internet privacy !

"Websites - Pledge to add SSL, HSTS & PFS protection this year; it matters! Then, on June 5th, run the splash screen to promote free, open source tools for end-to-end encryption. Already rocking SSL & HSTS? Consider approaches to end-to-end crypto."

"Mobile apps - If your app talks to a server, use SSL and cert-pinning, and make sure all third party code like ads & analytics does too. If it's a messaging app, consider end-to-end encryption. Then on June 5th, send a push notification to promote a mobile privacy pack."

"By June 5th, do something to reset your part of the web. What's the most you can do to block mass surveillance? For sites and apps, the first step is securing the connection between you and your users. For anyone with an audience, or a circle of friends, the best thing you can do is promote a end-to-end encryption (there are some really easy-to-use tools for that now, but they need promotion). For visionary geeks, sky's the limit. Think big!"
