- JoeAltmaier 10y agoNot suggesting. I just thought that freedom of the press didn't apply to computer communications. So what is the root of the idea that warrants are needed to search them?
- dTal 10y agoWhat's freedom of the press got to do with anything? Freedom from unreasonable search and seizure is, at least in theory, a Constitutional guarantee. Incidentally another (theoretical) Constitutional guarantee is that government only has powers specifically enumerated. So asking why the government isn't allowed to do something is a funny sort of way to come at it.
