Large, financially secure companies do one of two things–get their general counsel to tell law enforcement to eat dogfood or roll over. For small companies it’s virtually always roll over, because defending against illegal warrants is extremely expensive.
Exactly. We need to stop pretending this isn’t yet another class war issue where there’s legal recourse for some and a legal turn of the screw for most.
Also, illegal warrant isn’t a contradiction. If all judges were equal in their understanding and application of law then yes, I would agree with you. But they are human beings, with failings and misunderstandings just like you and me. And secret courts with secret warrants makes the entire process much higher stakes.
Agreed.

If you’re an activist in the United States, they’re watching your phone metadata very closely to include who you call, who calls you and where you are with your phone at all times, etc. - Bank account info, transactions, etc.
Tasty, but not overfilling… Freedom Lite
That gave me a chuckle. Then I got sad again.
