NBC is reporting that U.S. Attorney James Trump may bring charges against encrypted email provider Lavabit.com owner Ladar Levison for shutting down rather than allowing blanket spying on customers.
Part of the fallout from this surveillance is that various service providers are now having to carefully weigh customer convenience and debugging information against having capabilities which could be exploited. Logs now need to get purged regularly, or not kept at all.

Do they have *no* clue how this is going to affect foreign sales of U.S. computer software and services?
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
