I know it was released a few weeks ago, but I recently finished listening to Triangulation episode 125 with Lavabit founder Ladar Levison, and I think anyone interested in what's going on with the NSA and its impact on Internet communication will find this interview informative and fascinating. It gives a ground-level view of how these probes have impacted Levison's business (basically shutting it down), and is a chilling view of what likely is happening to many other Internet-based companies - receiving government orders to give up private customer information without the ability to inform their customers of such orders. I admire Levison's willingness to stand for his principles of protecting his customers, as compared to leaders of other Internet companies like Verizon who seem to think it's just grandstanding for companies to push to be able to disclose more about their dealings with the NSA.
