I find the issue far too complex for such a black and white response.

Take facebook for example. People post all kinds of personal info on there for the world to see. Is it really reasonable to say the whole world except the government can look at that data? Seems fairly silly to me to put in such restrictions.

Digital footprint is a broad term that can encompass a lot.

I agree with your sentiment I just dont think its nearly as easy as changing a couple words in the fourth amendment. The unintended consequences would be vast if we did such a thing and might even break the internet as we know it.
