“Xmission, an independent company based out of one office in Salt Lake City, Utah, has spent nearly two decades protecting its customers’ privacy as the National Security Agency, Department of Justice, and prosecutors have ramped up pressure on internet service providers (ISPs).

At a larger company, a panel of stockholders would bow to government pressure, he added. ‘It’s pretty basic for me. Most of their requests are not constitutional. They’re not proper warrants so I turn them back,’ he said.”
