This is where I remind everyone about S/MIME. A bit awkward to setup for the first time, but with good email clients it is a pretty transparent experience once

  That's good, but the correct response from the big internet services/portals should be to make it impossible to comply with such a request without an obvious and public withdrawal of service. And, beyond that, to use their resources to make key exchange and management simple and secure (they do that in some real time communications products) for storage and email. They have your social graph, they can implement web-of-trust features. They can made it both simple to use and exceedingly difficult to subvert. They can provide secure, open endpoint software. They can effectively end dragnet surveillance by providing a refuge from it, AND make burdensome and credibility-destroying requests/orders impossible to implement. And all these years after Snowden, they have not.
