About Cock.li
- Why is cock.li free?
- Any service needs money to continue their operations, and time to maintain the service and keep things in order. Cock.li is funded by its users, and if the account gets low we can always send someone around with a tin can and a spoon. Users are also invited to check cock.li's sister services (like cockbox) whose profits subsidize the time spent maintaining the service. Users have an incentive to fund the site, its operators have an incentive to keep it in good standing. Everyone's happy.
- Do you work with the government?
- Cock.li regularly receives reports from international law enforcement, and these reports are always encouraged so accounts engaged in illegal activity can be disabled. However the privacy policy specifically restricts the sharing of any user information without a legal order enforceable in its jurisdiction. This privacy policy as well as better education of law enforcement who contact cock.li of the nature of anonymous e-mail has kept legal orders for user metadata to a minimum. All information disclosures are available on the transparency page.
