    So if I lease a car it’s comparable? Rent a car, commit a crime, boom — rental company is on the hook. Moronic.

      The rental company, on the other hand, is more than willing to turn you in to not be considered liable. Which they probably would be if they impeded an investigation.

        Except that’s disanalogous, since it is impossible for an encryption service to provide the information being subpoenaed by definition. It would be like expecting Hertz to divulge a random customer’s favorite color. Why the fuck would a car rental company know a customer’s favorite color? How would they even find out? And how would an encryption service know what you’re encrypting?

        If getting rid of privacy is what you think it takes to be safe and civilized in this world, you are not the latter and you don’t deserve the former.
