It's pretty simple to me. If I give something to someone else to take care of, like a stack of magazines, and make no effort to conceal the magazines when I give it to them - they're going to see what magazines I have. We understand this. If they're magazines about something illegal, then of course they might report you to the police. This is like storing your unencrypted files on Dropbox. If you store the magazines in your basement, locked in a vault (password protected computer), then we have an expectation of privacy. To have the vault manufacturer sneak into your home, forcibly open the safe, and inspect your magazines is a very invasive thing. Especially because if this wasn't all over the news, no one would ever think such a thing is happening.
