Lavabit closed down because they would otherwise be required by law to compromise their entire customers security. Also as it is part of a NSL that no one is allowed to talk about it by fear of a prison sentence, it is very reasonable to assume that this happens a lot more often than the public knows.
- danielweber 12y agoCool story, but not a response to my question. When has a company -- even a single one -- been required to backdoor a product they ship to customers by any kind of court order? (Lavabit is different in lots of ways. #1: not a product. #2: They actually had the evidence the government wanted and told the government so.)
