I recommend the Chinese government, they don't have the type of relationship
with the NSA you're thinking of at least. Actually I believe 'silent circle'
claims to not do anything like this, but I haven't really investigated them.
As to the assumption of only a telecom level sniffer, it is claimed that they
have access to the servers, not just the traffic. I can't speak to the
authenticity of this claim any more then I can to the rest of this debacle, but
it seems plausible. Google, Apple, Dropbox, Yahoo, Microsoft, ect are not a
single person. They are entities made up of many smaller entities (known as
people). It is quite possible that whoever made those statements believes them,
but the NSA has a line in anyways built by some person (or group of people)
ordered by the government not to talk about it. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Funny, I was asking myself that before this exploded over our screens.
I wanted web hosting for a vanity site, and suspicious of what has gone
before, I Googled. In the first ten results eight were companies domiciled
in the US offering me a domain name for my country. One was domiciled
in Dubai with no notion of where the servers might be. The tenth claimed
to be 100% locally owned, operated and domiciled, proudly claiming
that the servers were in this country to avoid problems with offshore
communication channels and administrative difficulties.
I tracerouted the sites of two friends, one server was located in the US,
the other was routed thru there.
There was a time when I would be confident that the courts of my
country could protect me against the possibility that the visitation
of my site by a US citizen might bring me problems. This nest of
serpents is so foul I no longer have that confidence, and the internet
could soon be irrelevant. I know, I'm already marked for posting
to Groklaw.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
