This isn't any different than shredding all your business documents when you hear the cops knocking on your door. It was frowned upon when Enron undertook a mass shredding during their investigation.
- revscat 13y agoIt was frowned upon because what Enron was doing was both illegal and immoral. What Lavabit was doing was neither. Further, Lavbit's founder took a stand on a believe in the right to anonymous communication. Compare this to Enron, where destruction of evidence was purely in an effort to hide evidence of culpability by those who ordered the destruction.
