His moral stand wasn't for Snowden. He surmised the court would give the key to the Feds and they would use it to unencrypt things beyond the scope of the order. He stood on principle against the courts insistence that he trust the plaintiff to use the tool within the courts orders. The courts naievete is cringeworthy.
- Pyxl101 11y agoNo, that's not what happened. The government initially asked LavaBit to intercept and provide data for one user only. LavaBit had done this in the past for FBI on other cases. However, the owner dragged his feet for no legally defensible reason responding to this particular request, and asked for compensation et cetera, and so the government demanded the SSL keys to do it themselves.
