How Bytemark will deal with secret network taps
- RDeckard 13y agoIs Bytemark operating at a scale where a govt would want a site-wide tap?

- a3n 13y ago> 1) Bytemark has not yet been approached with any spook-y requests; > 2) we will always be happy to discuss this topic, unless we suddenly decide that we'd rather avoid it; > 3) secret network taps are probably going to be very unreliable. If we ever had to host one and keep it secret, I'd expect a customer to see difficult and inexplicable network problems, with queries passed up to the directors to answer. 2) is a nicely phrased canary policy. 3) is a little doubtful, at least after the first one, and might get them arrested. But it's a nice try.
