This headline BADLY buries the lede! The real scary stuff is the massive future costs of the blatant vendor lock-in that ALL the big tech firms, including Microsoft, are banking on with “free to the government for a year, undisclosed terms

You’re both correct— tptacek is correct in that the 4th amendment is constrained to government search and seizure and there is no positive assertion regarding privacy written into the constitution. But you’re also correct in principle, as
