Yes, and they've got a reasonably good record regarding free speech in
most respects, so far as I know. However, I am somewhat concerned with
their record regarding subpoenas for identities et al - they tend to
give in to them even when the subpoena in question is legally dubious
and quite fightable in court by the target.
I'm concerned about this because I'm an admin for a lyris list
(see http://www.iislists.com/scripts/lyris.pl?enter=uupoly), which
we've been looking at moving onto egroups for various reasons
(including the availability of a lot more other potential
admins - people seem to have problems with the learning curve
necessary for lyris administration, among other things). It's on a
somewhat controversial topic, namely polyamory, so privacy is a
concern.
Anyone have any information about this?
Thanks,
-Allen
