If you want to keep your data private from the USG, you have to custody it yourself. This is well-established legal doctrine that should surprise no one at this point. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-party_doctrine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-party_doctrine
- londons_explore 2y agoI would hope that sometime in the past ~20 yrs Google would have lobbied for those laws to change. "Cloud" storage should be treated the same as local storage in law. The legal system should need to present you with a search warrant to inspect your cloud data, in the same way they need to give you a Search warrant to go through your local data.
