No, law enforcement needs a warrant to legally access any data. This is why Prism was illegal, and why companies like Google are pushing back against overly broad geofence search warrants.

- somenameforme 2y agoNo idea why the two of you are using past tense. PRISM is still very much alive and well.

Most went guilty because they caught red-handed in the most egregious criminality you've seen. Encro was designed to enable and protect criminal communications. It had no redeeming public value.
