I think the distinction here is that this data could be used as evidence if they already have a suspect. In that case it's much easier to get you to turn over your phone and usernames and activity and testimony, etc. But I think the risk of people being "caught" with this data is absolutely minimal. > I'm honestly not sure the cost will matter much when we're talking about an ideological crusade like this. Okay, but even in like the darkest days of prohibition when the federal government had a literal mandate to round up every person in the US for illegal drinking, not even a fraction of a percent of the obviously guilty population was even charged with a crime. At a certain point, laws themselves are a legal fiction if they are unenforceable and police will only ever focus on a few high profile cases. So I guess I am cynical myself, but also trying to be rational here.
