Any other time and HN would be cheering that user data was attempted to be kept private and not disclosed. But one whiff of it being on the wrong side of a political divide and it becomes a witch hunt.



For warrantless yes like when government gets logs from network providers and mobile phone operators without a warrant. I don’t think most on here disapprove of gathering evidence on a specified target via a judge approved warrant.


I don't think that's true and I'm surprised the GP is flagged.

I think that many of us believe that all personal messages should be E2EE. When user data is not encrypted, companies should fight tooth and nail before handing it over to the government.

(I'm not American and have a highly negative view of Trump, but that should be irrelevant.)


One whiff of the political divide and the victims come out with the witch hunt angle.
