The problem with these cases is that we only hear about the requests that get fought, but not the ones where providers silently give up all their data anyway.

There was a satellite piracy site operator where Google got a legal request to Doxx them for a lawsuit. But since Google notified the operator, they successfully got a lawyer to convince the judge to quash it for $7k under 1st amendment. The operator now thought they were in the clear.
“Tragically as I was soon to find out, none of this even mattered.”
“Nobody else even bothered to tell me. And by nobody else I mean: Paypal, eBay, 3 domain registrars, merch makers, VPN providers, and every other online service I had used with that email in the last five years.”
They were still fucked.

That same fellow did a ground up compromise of a previously (officially) uncompromised system that’s still in use: https://www.reddit.com/r/ConTalks/comments/5kw4m5/how_do_i_crack_satellite_and_cable_pay_tv_chris/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ConTalks/comments/5kw4m5/how_do_i_c...

- Scoundreller 4y agoSadly, most big tech companies have substantial US operations, if not headquarters.
