Maybe I'm missing something, but this seems like an overreaction. The specific allegation is that companies have set up "digital version of the secure physical rooms that have long existed for classified information, in some instances on company servers." Why is this a problem? Do we honestly except companies to print out paper copies of digital data just to inconvenience government agents who ultimately have a legal right to that data? I understand wanting to narrow the scope of the data available, but no one has put forth evidence yet that Facebook is periodically giving the government the equivalent of an SQL dump. Unlike Verizon, they appear to be producing limited information in response to a specific request on foreign nationals.. Streamlining this process doesn't raise the same issues for me as does the Verizon order.
