I deleted my account about a week ago. Some things, like google (mail, drive etc) are harder to drop but with so many cloud storage applications out there this was an easy choice.
appointing someone who advocates(or at least once did) warantless surveillance is certainly less overt than more direct cooperation and there are other organizations more strongly implicated in NSA surveillance. I don't feel like my cancellation will make a lick of difference nor do I feel like my citizen vigilance quota is filled up for the year. However it's one small thing I can do in under a minute.
