Silent Circle shuts down Silent Mail service
http://j.mp/17B10eC (Silent Circle / Wordpress)
However, we have reconsidered this position. We've been thinking about
this for some time, whether it was a good idea at all. Today, another
secure email provider, Lavabit, shut down their system lest they "be
complicit in crimes against the American people." We see the writing
the wall, and we have decided that it is best for us to shut down
Silent Mail now. We have not received subpoenas, warrants, security
letters, or anything else by any government, and this is why we are
acting now.
