  Re: This is a shot across the bow of Apple & Google

  That was precisely my first thought. Is the U.S. going to try to stop Apple and Google from doing business outside of U.S. borders? I don't think the government will get very far!

  Good Sci Fi

  I can't agree more. The majority of decent Sci Fi is produced in either Toronto or Vancouver. The U.S. has totally dropped the ball. As a screenwriter of Sci Fi, I moved to Ontario seven years ago to be closer to the heartbeat of the industry.

  Re: Can Microsoft actually turn over the emails?

  Re: Rogers

  I am also in Canada, but I use Bell Canada. I dumped Rogers because of this clause. Because Bell/ca is a brother to Bell.us, I encrypt everything that goes through them. I use a proxy located in the former Soviet Union that will decipher communication before passing it on to the final destination. It also encrypts everything sent back to me. Using a 256-bit key will make it difficult for NSA and homeland security to figure out what I'm doing.
