It comes as the US squeezes email providers that offer encryption and Mega’s CEO calls Lavabit’s shutdown an ‘honorable act of Privacy Seppuku.’ The concept he was referring to was developed by secure service providers such as Cryptocloud, which made a ‘corporate seppuku’ pledge to oppose the mass surveillance and shield the privacy of their users’ data. The name for the move apparently derives from a Japanese ritual suicide, which was originally practiced by samurai to preserve honor.”
