From what I understand (correct me if I'm wrong), the U.S. Govt. is not at fault here. The U.S. Govt. is not monitoring, tracking, or cracking their encryption. I've heard this counter argument a many times. It is an excuse for inaction. We need to hear it from an official U.S. Govt. spokesperson.
However, we have Statements from the U.S. DoJ that the U.S. is not requiring the ISPs to carry the terrorist sites
... a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Justice said that Burstnet's claim about government intervention in its business activities "doesn't sound in any way legitimate." The DOJ's Bryan Sierra said the department has "no legal mechanism to force someone to post stuff on the internet."We also have statements that the FBI is not requiring the ISPs to carry the terrorist sites
A spokesman for the FBI agreed. Special Agent Ken McGuire of the Los Angeles FBI Field Office said while he wasn't aware of this specific case that in general nothing like this occurs. He said that while the FBI does ask for cooperation from people if there appears to be an opportunity to catch a criminal, it is a voluntary effort and not mandated. "If somebody doesn't want to do it we would be hard pressed to make it happen and I don't know if we would want to anyway," McGuire said.Now, I challenge everyone that has ever said that the ISPs, which say they are being forced to host the terrorist sites (Burst.net and Ev1.net) to produce a statement saying that they are.
