> My company would respond to a similar subpoena by explaining that we make archery bows from wood. That also doesn't add anything to the HN discussion. I believe your parent's comment is relevant to this HN discussion, quite unlike your company's occupation. Your parent's comment suggests their company's users upload data (albeit encrypted client-side) to the company, so a judge could — without an understanding of client-side encryption — reasonably subpoena the company for user data. Compared to that, it is quite unlikely a judge would mistake a company that makes wooden archery bows for a company that collects much user data, or believe that the former fact has much to do with the latter supposition.
