The point is that the government has the ability with the cooperation of the telcos to track everything.

This telco is claiming that they have the technical means to prevent that - while in fact they have no technical difference (other than storing your email encrypted) than any other.

If all they are claiming is that they are good guys and wouldn't hand over your data if ordered then you have no more security than all the other telcos who also said that - either because they were lying or they were ordered to say so.

If your risk model is that the telco will cooperate with the US government then the solution is a telco who has no reason to do so.

That isn't my interpretation.

They seem to be saying that they will do everything technically and legally possible to prevent tracking.

That's a significant difference from the current situation where telcos hand over information whenever the government asks, even if not ordered to do so.
