Another one bites the dust
“The owner of Lavabit tells us that he's stopped using email and if we knew what he knew, we'd stop too,” Jones wrote. “There is no way to do Groklaw without email. Therein lies the conundrum.”

“And the simple truth is, no matter how good the motives might be for collecting and screening everything we say to one another, and no matter how ‘clean’ we all are ourselves from the standpoint of the screeners, I don't know how to function in such an atmosphere. I don't know how to do Groklaw like this,” she added.

Encrypted email service Lavabit forced to shut down over NSA spying, under gag order not to reveal their blackmail
arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/08/lava...-shut-down-decision/

Meanwhile, they still threaten him with arrest because he shut it down instead of agreeing with a secret court order.

And don't forget about the Telecom CEO who got jailed for 6 years because he refused to go along with the NSA wiretapping everyone.

NSA signs contracts with company. Asks for full access to all of its data. CEO refuses; sells shares at some point before the NSA decision.
NSA pulls all contracts; company's stock collapses. CEO is sent to jail for "insider trading".
