I saw a lot of word-confusion in this thread.
Software freedom and privacy are conceptually different issues and should be
treated as such.
However, software freedom is a condition for privacy. you can't really be
sure to have privacy without software freedom.
If you feel that a piece of free software is not giving you enough privacy
(which is obviously the case) then you can alter the source code and remove
the critical parts.
Or you can pay somebody who will do the job for you.
Free software gives you no guarantee that a program will be 100% secure, bug
free and exactly what you need for a specific task.
It simply can't do that.
