FBI to Lavabit Founder: ‘Do You Really Think Users Trust You Over Us?’

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Geoffrey McLatchey * The Daily Caller

The FBI fined, threatened, and forced Ladar Levison to suspend the operation of his secure email service, Lavabit LLC, telling the entrepreneur that his users were more likely to trust the government than him.

This year, the government demanded that Levison turn over his private SSL (secure socket layer) so that the FBI could investigate a single user account allegedly belonging to NSA leaker Edward Snowden.

“By taking these keys from me they were able to unlock everything coming in and out…gaining access to email content, passwords, and credit card numbers,” Levison told The Daily Caller in an interview. The keys allowed the FBI to “masquerade” as Levison himself, giving the agency administrative access to his system.

“They were completely unwilling to provide any kind of transparency back to me to assure me that the only information they were collecting was the information on this one specific user,” said Levison. “Users trusted me to protect their private information and I was essentially opening up the doors wide for the feds to come in and take whatever they wanted.”

      That is why you can’t rely on encription schemes to protect your data. The NSA already has the backdoor passwords to all the major encreptions.

    • Truth Prevails

      FBI and CIA and all other secret government agencies should be held accountable for their known criminal activities of trauma-based (torture, sex abuse pedophilia, slave trafficking of children, assassins, etc.) MKUltra mind-control ~ exposed by Senator Frank Church in Congressional Hearing ~ but continued, due to One World Order agenda for depopulation and control of the world (research provides credible, countless confirmation).

      Many bully police are bought off and are known to traffic in drugs, etc. Our government has run amuck and Obama (like the Bush regime) is an obamanation against God and Christians!
