Well these companies are giving information to the NSA one way or another. Its a slippery slope argument, but anyone that doesn't refuse to give up the information e.g. Lavabit is complicit in aiding the NSA. Whether they get paid for it or not seems irrelevant.

- notacryptwizard 13y agoI think that a reasonable person would consider {Apple, Google, Lavabit, ...} receiving a National Security Letter coercion, and therefore not "complicit". "Complicit" would be Verizon or AT&T, who to this day still sell phone call metadata to the NSA.
