So not only did Google share all of Yan's emails with the US government, they did it silently. Presumably that was a condition of the court order. I don't necessarily consider Google at fault for complying, but it's disturbing to me that a foreign government can read all my data ad libitum while ordering Google not to tell me about it. Are there countries that have better privacy laws? Is anyone hosting email services out of those countries? I'd be willing to pay a monthly fee.
