If we want to keep our personal computing private (i.e. data, communications, social life, everything), we need to fix this problem.

The web is what makes privacy possible on the desktop, but the desktop platform is slowly becoming irrelevant. IMO our last hope is to make web apps usable and popular on mobile. In theory it's feasible.
