Every webprovider or server in the EU is forced to reveal datas of an user because an court order in a criminal investigation, with even the risk that the service will be closed, apart of high fines if they don't. If you are an criminal, it's better to message with paper and pen, otherwise they'll find you, independent which online service you use.
