Just to clarify things, most of Lavabit’s users were not using their encrypted service. I know, because I had a plain old email account with them, which happened to be free, I might add. As I understand it, they’ve had financial problems and have been on the verge of shutting down for years. Also, why on earth did a master of secrecy like Snowden use the email address ESnowden at Lavabit dot com? The service was used by criminals of a variety of stripes.

The answer preceded the question?
