&gt; 1. Germany just yesterday put the lie to this blog posting by seizing the user data of an email provider pursuant to a crime targeted WELL outside of its borders.<p>You do realise that it&#x27;s neither a gag order nor a backdoor right? A legal seizure is not something that&#x27;s hidden from users of the service, and it&#x27;s something which can be discussed and fought in the open.
