Ghostery, NoScript, AdBlock, FlashGot, TrackMeNot etc.  As pervasive as 
Google et al are, they do not (yet) control the fibre and it is still 
possible to largely escape their gaze (I do recognise the irony seeing 
as who provides me with a mail service).
The state does, however, control the fibre and unless you are running 
crypto from client to destination they can see what they want.  One 
could use a VPN, but that just swaps one set of spooks to another.

If I was smart enough I might understand this thing called the "DarkNet".
Then there's "BitCoin".
And Tor.
