    I’m aware. I’m not a fan of them not being able to tell their users when this stuff happens.

    Gotta wait til after they hand it over? Sure. But they should be legally required to inform the user after the fact.

      If you’re not a fan look into services that have a “canary in the coal mine” or “warranty canary”, the best example of this being at work I can remember would be lavabit or true crypt (RIP). Take what I say with more than a grain of salt… just an old privacy advocate that may dive to deep sometimes haha adjusts tinfoil hat

        Unfortunately a lot of the FISA warrants completely gut organization’s ability to actually fail to renew a warrant canary

          TIL… is there any real alternative option that a end user can look for from a service? (or ask that they add if they’re not aware of the option)

            Not really. The FISA warrants usually come with a provision that gives strict penalties for giving any sort of notice that they’ve been served
