Ask Slashdot: Where Are the Complete Hosting Providers?
Kludge writes "In 2000 there were thousands of email/web hosting businesses. In 2013 not much has changed. To get my email/web/webmail/domain/VOIP/public-key/XMPP/VPN hosting I have to deal with five different service providers. Where are the complete hosting providers? The absence of competition in this area drives many to Google, making data siphoning easy for the NSA. Why has hosting not advanced in the last 10 years? Where are the hosting providers that make end-to-end encrypted email/web/VOIP/XMPP easy and automatic for all my clients?"
There are no high tech solutions to this that are within your budget, ok? Just... deal with it already guys.
Fortunately, there's low-tech solutions. Fight them in court, destroy them legally, from the inside out. It's happening, it takes time, but people like Ladar Levinson are fighting the good fight and more will come along. It won't persist, it cannot persist, our country cannot operate like this for long and not face a real revolution again.
So no.. I will not just 'deal with it', that is completely the wrong attitude. We DO NOT have to deal with it, we will not deal with it. It will be stopped, eventually.
