Edward Snowden's E-Mail Provider Defied FBI Demands to Turn Over Crypto Keys, Documents Show. ⇒

   2 October 2013, early evening

The U.S. government obtained a secret court order demanding that Edward Snowden’s e-mail provider, Lavabit, turn over its private SSL key, which would have allowed the FBI to wiretap the service’s users.

He shut down the service to avoid paying $5000 in fines. America brings the creepy-ass-creepy.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
