"It's obvious what the name means: that it's the hosting service you use to
stay away from such a government as in Nineteen Eighty-Four."
Or the other way around... -

(And the joke is on the people using such service, and not on the government
they are trying to hide from...)
"1984" is listed in Mailpile's web page as one of the companies who helped
create that e-mail hosting service.
And, I know that "not everything in the world is driven by a conspiracy"...
But, having been researching such a topic (of corporate/government
surveillance, and what really goes on behind the scenes) for 10 years now, I
am now (well) aware of the amount of fake movements and organizations that
are actually working for the "powers-that-be" (and the kind of dirty tricks
and insidious methods that this "public-private partnership" uses).
(From what I know, the number of fake movements and organizations even
surpasses the number of real, or legitimate, ones...)
