There's no better time to get behind projects that aim to decentralize the web, which covers many of the bullet points in the EFF's list all in one go. The primary project IMO to keep an eye on is MaidSafe[0], and I'm actually quite surprised how little attention it gets from the community here. Whereas most service/companies/developers aim to build privacy/encryption into their own apps, the goal of the SAFE network is to create an internet backbone on which all apps are automatically secure, making it much easier to build secure apps for the average coder.

I wrote an easy to read overview, both high level and technical, of how it works if anybody is interested: http://blanshey.com/introduction-to-maidsafe-what-it-is-how-...
