INVINCIBILITY MINDSET, FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT BULLYING TACTICS
Some people have an invincibility mindset that nothing will ever be able to be tied to them
or derived from their online communications.
Well guess what? They do not have to use your online communications to find out who
you are. All that needs to happen, is for you to do something stupid and become a person
of interest and they will be monitoring your activities online to the best of their abilities.
Remember you only need to screw up once.
For example, maybe you become a person of interest and the FBI gains a subpoena to your
Facebook account where you stupidly bragged to a friend of yours about participating in
certain online activities. This happened to one of the members of LulzSec who transferred
a data dump that he obtained through SQL injection exploits to a friend of his using his
own Facebook in his own name. So do not ever talk about The Deep Web or any of your
online activities on any social media platform.
Even if a company does not currently keep logs, a court order may perhaps be used to
force a company to start keeping logs. Hush Mail was forced to hand over 12 CDs worth
of e-mails from three Hushmail accounts, following a court order obtained through a
mutual assistance treaty between the U.S. and Canada. According to the following article.

When it comes to being threatened by a court order from the federal government, 99.99%
of all companies will comply to avoid either prosecution themselves, or shutting down
their business as we saw previously with Hide My Ass.
But one company decided to stand up to this type of bullying that you may have heard of
called LavaBit as seen in the following article.

“The email service used by whistleblower Edward Snowden refused FBI requests
to “defeat its own system,” according to newly unsealed court documents.
The founder of Lavabit, Ladar Levison, repeatedly pushed back against demands
by the authorities to hand over the encryption keys to his system, frustrating federal
investigators who were trying to track Snowden’s communications, the documents
show.
Levison is now subject to a government gag order and has appealed against the
search warrants and subpoenas demanding access to his service. He closed
Lavabit in August saying he did not want to be “complicit in crimes against the
American people”.
In July, the authorities obtained a search warrant demanding Lavabit hand over any
