> cell phones
Not live streamed to police. Warrant required for location data last I checked.
> computers
Don't generally share anything other than analytics data. Might upload content to one or more clouds with user permission. Data certainly not easily available to police without a warrant.
> commercial CTV
Again, not live streamed to police. Access often requested (and typically granted) in person during the course of an investigation.
> commercial data
And again, not live streamed to police. Warrant typically required.

I never claimed they were. > Commerical data is definately being provided to police and other government agencies without warrants. Obviously that claim is true because someone somewhere has almost certainly done so at some point. However, it is a misrepresentation of the overall situation. The vast majority of large tech companies have public policies clearly stating that they require a warrant or subpoena in order to hand over data. Moreover, court records would appear to indicate that this really is the case. Many of your comments on this article contain non sequiturs and false equivalencies. Honestly, you don't appear to be engaging in this discussion in good faith.
- Dylan16807 6y agoWhen that information is being provided en masse, perhaps warrants should be required. And either way, something being legal does not stop it from being a big problem.
