We won't sell. We won't give away. We will comply with our requirements under UK law (which is neither selling nor giving away).

You can be compelled to give your users data to government agents. You can even be compelled to background encryption algorithms to make this easier.

To say that's not "giving" seems like semantics.

Semantics is important! It means "meaning," and that's the core of language and life, really.

I think that if you're compelled to submit information, you didn't give it - it's been taken from you.

But we'll add a "within the realms of what is possible under UK law" section, I guess.

What about the Snooper Charter? The government counts.
