What about running my own e-mail from my residence or contained within a data center on a computer that I personally own (that is, not leased from the hosting provider) and connected to the Internet via a subscription in my own name? I'm rather curious about what legal areas this might fall into.
- kijin 14y ago> connected to the Internet via a subscription in my own name I thought the article was about anonymous e-mail. Anonymous as in, nobody can tell who you are, not even the Feds. Anything you paid for with your credit card is probably not going to meet that criterion.
- techsupporter 14y agoGood point. I was more wondering about this as an alternative to purely anonymous e-mail in light of one of the reasons why people try to avoid having e-mail tied to them (government having a peek).
- bstpierre 14y agoThere was an article on HN a while back about a server removed from a DC by the feds; that's one risk. If you have the server at your home sending emails, it will be trivial for law enforcement to figure out where you are and show up at your door with a warrant to sieze your computer.
- ibejoeb 14y agoYes, I'd like to hear about what other people are doing for private email too. Anonymous is pretty special case. How is everyone protecting day-to-day communications?
