As to that specific question, I bet it's because Google's Privacy Policy says:
> We will share personal information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of Google if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to:
> meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request.
Lavabit's policy[1] said:
> [...] we will not surrender any private information without a court order; [...].
... so I guess they kind of indicated that they could be convinced to share private information, although they didn't do it in the form of a positive assertion like Google.
