Have read that, and a couple of similar ones, but it seems that EFF are struggling to see clear implications, just that all the things are now screwed and open to foreign (to US) eyes.
I have never really anticipated that by using a VPN I am escaping the NSA (and therefore GCHQ). I use one to defeat most if not all ad/malware issues surrounding tracking, to screw with ISP collection of internet connection records as per U.K. government and also to prevent snooping of my internet use when on public WiFi connections.
It depends why you want/need to use one.
If I wanted to wave goodbye to NSA and 5 eyes, I’d be using multiple nested VPN’s, TOR, operating systems such as TAILS, and more besides. Wilders Security Forums have some interesting reading.
