“Ladar Levison owned Lavabit, a secure, encrypted, email service. He would turn over individual customer records, including Edward Snowden’s, under lawful court orders. As the New York Times reports, the FBI wanted FAR more: ‘the passwords, encryption keys and computer code that would essentially allow the government untrammeled access to the protected messages of all his customers.’  Levison resisted and ultimately closed his business rather than harm his customers. He had to layoff an employee, lost ten years of work, and lost his income. He was then threatened with arrest SIX times! He was also prohibited from publicizing details of the case for almost two months.”
