Pamela “PJ” Jones, the proprietor of Groklaw, is shutting down operations in the wake of the Lavabit secure email service closure. Groklaw, which was originally set up to cover the long-running SCO v.

Jones said email could no longer be trusted, and said she was personally trying to get off the internet as much as possible.
