It's weird to me people think warrants are still used.

No warrant is needed by any government agent to read your email that is over six months old and the major providers just give them a backdoor so as not to waste any time/money with requests.

Who is going to stop them from doing that with anything else? The supreme court? Good luck with that belief system. You think the NSA ever stopped just because they were discovered? Or did they just switch to "try to stop us".

Their "canaries" don't make any reference to warrants, and two of them explicitly rule out providing a backdoor for governments ("Cloudflare has never installed any law enforcement software or equipment anywhere on our network" and "Cloudflare has never provided any law enforcement organization a feed of our customers' content transiting our network").
So.. what? Endless despair?
