It is a problem when you centralize the Internet like this though.

The more of the Internet you've got running through your service, the more appealing a target you are for not only domestic government pressure, but attempts from foreign state actors to compromise the service (through not only hacking, but espionage and blackmail as well).

It's not great.

I'm no fan of centralization but if you think that it makes any difference to the FBI, you're mistaken. The tiniest providers are obligated to do the exact same thing. This has nothing to do with domestic pressure.
