Who is on our side?

The media drones on about the battle between internet users and information privacy laws.  While most fight the laws by protesting or voting, Nicholas Merrill is taking a different route.  This internet engineer has plans to develop a non-profit company that provides users access to the internet in a setting controlled by their own privacy settings.  The average internet users are clueless to the technology behind internet security but are now becoming aware of the importance of information protection.  Merrill’s idea is a great and potentially profitable one, but will it be able to stand a chance against the government and its available resources?  As the information protection battle drags on, it is comforting as a regular net user to know action is being taken for my side.
