GCHQ never demanded that CertiVox shut down their service. That is the bottom line and, no matter what sort of ridiculous "gun against your head" rationale you come up with or how firmly you plug your ears while shouting "LALALA!" at the top of your voice; you cannot refute that fact. EDIT: Actually, why don't we see what the CEO of CertiVox has to say on the matter? "The headline strongly infers our friends at GCHQ “forced” us to take PrivateSky down. That’s hogwash."
