Interesting addition to the "free market" system we all just love so, so much.

Its obvious its for spying. Until there is a telescope stuck up every non rich citizens ass the US government will not give up.

People should rewatch that interview with the creator of Lavabit and how the feds forced him into a shutdown because he wouldn't play their spy games.

He is still not allowed to talk about all the details of it either. "What about my first amendment rights" he said in the interview.

You know, just things in the land of the free™
