| > Purism will generally not contact you for any reason except in the following situations: > "A lawful request for account information was received" Maybe sometimes, but the US government has an unconstitutional tool up its belt it has been using freely since 2001: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2709 > 18 U.S. Code § 2709. Counterintelligence access to telephone toll and transactional records > (c) Prohibition of Certain Disclosure.— > If a certification is issued under subparagraph (B) and notice of the right to judicial review under subsection (d) is provided, no wire or electronic communication service provider that receives a request under subsection (b), or officer, employee, or agent thereof, shall disclose to any person that the Federal Bureau of Investigation has sought or obtained access to information or records under this section. TLDR: If the FBI tells them not to, they can't tell you they've given your information away. In the interest of full disclosure, I believe they should warn people about this. (Yall probably have heard about this in the form of Warrant Canaries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrant_canary) I like the message, I like the intent, I like what Librem does. I like that they're going to have data after this seeing just how many people are willing to pay money for privacy. I am. I'll probably pay for this software regardless. It's just a shame our own governments are standing between us and actual privacy - I'm starting to wonder who is serving who these days. |
