7. You'd be right, they're not. Silicon Valley doesn't go broke protecting privacy. Google is the Big

Data scraper with the back door, working with DHS, and so it's not as if Big Guv doesn't have some help. And the big companies have a lock on the American market that this govt wants access to for its own purposes. Like Trump selling our data out to Russia or other favorite 'players' of his.

Add to that, that when you've got right wingers trying to shrink government and law enforcement, they'll try to make techies start doing their leg work, as if they have the power to tell social media owners what to do.

If this lands in court, it'll be a big showdown over Americans' 4th Amendment rights led by a corporation, no less! And some globalist view of "cooperation" in apprehending child pornographers and terrorists -- as if they never apprehended them before the nets showed up.
