As a European citizen, my first concern for US cloud storage is now a question of confidentiality. This is not mentioned on the site's FAQ. What is S3for.me's policy regarding NSA warrantless surveillance? Will S3for.me release a NSA transparency report, like Yahoo? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSA_warrantless_surveillance_%282001%E2%80%9307%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSA_warrantless_surveillance_%2...

Absolutely not. edit: I meant that we do not disclose any user-related data to anyone without a court order.

  An NSA transparency report would be a good thing; are you sure that's what you were replying to?

  Are you saying that you will "absolutely not" release an NSA transparency report? That sounds... odd.

S3for.me is hosting at hetzner.de one of the largest german hosting companies. Unfortunately they have to provide a wiretapping API to police, secret service (BND / Bundesnachrichtendienst) and other govermental institutions. They are not allowed to talk about this or risk punishment. Recent developments from Mr. Snowden show, that BND regularly sniffs and provides data to the NSA. If you want to find out more about this, try to find a translation of the TKÜV (Telekommunikations-Überwachungsverordnung).
