Meh. I’ve been thinking about this a bit. Imagine if they’d used gmail. Microsoft gets a subpoena, sends it to the goog, gets info. End result: the same. They just cut out the middleman. In fact, I’m not sure what the legal procedure would be for Microsoft to subpoena itself. Is that even a thing?
Situation sucks, but I can’t see the outcome being any different if the leaker had used gmail.
People shouldn’t be spying on your email, but at a certain point, it’s like these people are asking to be spied on. I have, in my life, spent maybe two hours thinking about what I’d do if I decided to be a whistleblower. If I actually went through with it, I’d spend a lot more, but even so I wouldn’t fuck up this bad. Hushmail, bad as it is, would at least throw a speedbump in the way.
