You had to have been very naive for these revelations to be so shocking to you.
You use Google for email? Don't be surprised that someone else is reading it. You have willingly and continuously divulged your personal data to an unknown number of people.
You use someone else's cables for data transfer? You are willingly broadcasting your information to anyone who's willing to listen.
You're blindly trusting an encryption system made by some strangers? Be aware of the consequences. You're merely trusting someones unwillingness to risk their reputation (if anything at all).
True security and privacy are achievable, but you need to put effort into that. If you're walking around 24/7 with a GPS tracker and listening device in your pocket willingly, don't go crying over someones ability to collect this information for their own gain.
