Op-ed: Lavabit’s primary security claim wasn’t actually true
From http://arstechnica.com/security/2013...ue-of-lavabit/
Quote:
In August of this year, Ladar Levison shut down his e-mail service, Lavabit, in an attempt to avoid complying with a US government request for his users' e-mails. To defy the US government's gag order and shut down his service took great courage, and I believe that Ladar deserves our support in his legal defense of that decision.
There is now an effort underway to restart the Lavabit project, however, which might be a good opportunity to take a critical look at the service itself. After all, how is it possible that a service which wasn't supposed to have access to its users' e-mails found itself in a position where it had no other option but to shut down in an attempt to avoid complying with a request for the contents of its users' e-mails
