I don't think the US will ever devolve into a scenario where the police will beat you for refusing to provide your password, I don't even think we will end up in a situation where police can legally compel you to give up your password. I think we will end up where cloud providers will be legally compelled to provide data on request (banning E2E) and consumers will be incentivized (both in unnatural and natural ways) to more deeply rely on cloud services.
