As the sibling comment points out, the government doesn't need a subpoena if companies hand over the data willingly (typically for a fee.)
I can't see this being fixed until America decides that the rights to our identifying data can't be signed away.
- bilbo0s 2y agoTrue. This ruling says you can't subpoena data. It doesn't say you can't buy it. The free market is an enormous whole in our privacy rights. At the same time, it's crazy that we ourselves put all of our data out there on the free market.
