From the article you linked: "The filings show that Lavabit was served on June 28 with a so-called “pen register” order requiring it to record, and provide the government with, the e-mail “from” and “to” lines on every e-mail, as well as the IP address used to access the mailbox. Because they provide only metadata, pen register orders can be obtained without “probable cause” that the target has committed a crime."
- anologwintermut 13y agoYes and No. Yes they originally wanted a so called pen register.I should have been clearer with that. This request was without a warrant. Lavabit refused. Then the fed's got an order from a Judge for it. Lavabit still refused. Finally, the Feds, got a court order to the keys to the kingdom so to speak. At this point Lavabit is willing to implement a pen register. The fed's don't trust them to do it, so they stick with the final order. Lavabit shuts down.
