The move came amidst a legal fight that appeared to involve U.S. government attempts to win access to customer information. In a Democracy Now! broadcast exclusive, we are joined by Lavabit owner Ladar Levison and his lawyer, Jesse Binnall. "Unfortunately, I can't talk about it. I would like to, believe me," Levison says. "I think if the American public knew what our government was doing, they wouldn't be allowed to do it anymore." In a message to his customers last week, Levison said: "I have been forced to make a difficult decision: to become complicit in crimes against the American people, or walk away from nearly 10 years of hard work by shutting down Lavabit." Levison said he was barred from discussing the events over the past six weeks that led to his decision. Soon after, another secure email provider called Silent Circle also announced it was shutting down.<br /> <br /> See all Democracy Now! reports about Edward Snowden and the NSA leaks: <a href="http://www.democracynow.org/topics/nsa">http://www.democracynow.org/topics/nsa</a><br /> <br /> Democracy Now!, is an independent global news hour that airs weekdays on 1,200+ TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.
