There are legitimate, appropriate ways for the government to subpoena, court order, and issue warrants for certain records from social media like Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and HN. For some insight into this process, Reddit just published their 2016 Transparency Report: https://www.reddit.com/wiki/transparency/2016 https://www.reddit.com/wiki/transparency/2016 They complied with some 60% of them, finding the others invalid (and, notably, not being proven wrong in that regard). It's shocking to me that agents of the government so regularly abuse the trust placed in them to make illegitimate requests of these corporations.
