ScareMail

SUMMARY

ScareMail makes email "scary" in order to disrupt NSA surveillance. Extending Google's Gmail, the work adds to every new email's signature an algorithmically generated narrative containing a collection of probable NSA search terms. This "story" acts as a trap for NSA programs like PRISM and XKeyscore, forcing them to look at nonsense. Each email's story is unique in an attempt to avoid automated filtering by NSA search systems.

The latest version of ScareMail is available on the Chrome web and is currently being used by 104 active users. The initial version was launched on 2013-10-01.
