> Oh yeah, then why didn't they shut-down Gmail like the folks at Lavabit did? As to that specific question, I bet it's because Google's Privacy Policy says: > We will share personal information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of Google if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to: > meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request.
