    Slaves don’t have private ownership of their capital (that is, their own labor)… because someone else does.

    Most “free” workers, in terms of capital, own only their own labor.

    Capitalists own the majority of the capital–land, equipment, intellectual property, etc.

    A system where the workers own the capital (aka the means of production) is socialism.

    Lavabit was based in the United States. Proton AG operates entirely in Switzerland. Ostensibly the US government would have to go through the Swiss court system to get anything out of Proton.
