[Discuss] Lavabit Email Shutdown



Ladar Levison and Lavabit probably concluded that an insecure e-mail is 
worse than no e-mail service.

In this case, where the e-mail service was apparently advertised as 
being secure (I don't know the details), I agree and admire Lavabit's 
integrity and guts.

Security should not fail silently.  Lavabit refused to fail silently.  
Bravo.
