That's quite an assertion. I had an email account on lavabit. From what you're saying apparently that means I'm a criminal.
- tptacek 13y agoThat's not the assertion he made.
- jlgreco 13y agoTechnically that does not imply that all customers are criminals. Consider this transformation of your quote: "It turns that a bar serving beer to minors carries real risks and isn't terribly lucrative" Now, this doesn't imply that a bar in only serves minors, though it does imply that the bar knowingly served minors (possibly among others). (This said, the quote is obviously a rather inflammatory way to describe their business, and Snowden was plainly not a member of some sort of "criminal class" (whatever that is).)
