Re: Good luck with that... "He's just saying he won't voluntarily hand over any data."
So he thinks that he is the only one that's doing that? Big deal. We don't hand over data without going through the proper legal channels either. I bet you find other like Sonic.net that have similar policies.

| Oh, I'm sure there are others. And having a story like this come out is a perfect time for those providers to step forward and talk openly about their policies. Maybe the EFF and/or EPIC could develop a set of best practices that ISP's that want their "seal of approval" could adopt.
The way I see it, providers that respect people's privacy is a Good Thing. Some folks like to say, "If you haven't got anything to hide, than you have nothing to fear." My response is, "If you don't have a reasonable suspicion that I've done anything illegal, then you have no right to invade my privacy." |

I just ask them if I can have a look at their personal documents and they give me that look and then I tell them, well see, so why is it okay for my own privacy to be invaded but not for me to invade your privacy? |

according to his site, his goal is to create an infrastructure that would make it impossible for his organization to comply with surveillance requests. not sure how that changes the legal situation, but its different from saying "i don't want to." |
