As much as I don't like laws against abortion, I like tech companies picking and choosing which laws they help the government enforce even less. What we really need is a blanket ban on law enforcement access to private mass collected databases in general.



That won't happen. There are too many cases where it helps law enforcement in reasonable ways.

I'm OK with tech companies choosing data retention practices that make them unable to answer certain kinds of questions, and, in fact, suspect this will be mandated in some locales. Until there is some law that prevents it, anyway.


Or laws against private mass collected databases in general?
