You'd likely be seizing a bunch of other innocent people's data too, then, no?

As an American, I'd be really surprised if we let that happen. I looked and found it apparently happened once, in 2009 in Texas: https://www.cio.com/article/278564/data-center-when-the-fbi-...

It resulted in another company essentially being shut down, and suing for their data back. Crazy. There has to be a better way of doing that digitally (I assume there is, these days, and we won't see something like this again).



The idea that running stuff in the cloud will protect you from a criminal investigation is totally absurd.


I wasn’t thinking about that at all and don’t think it would -

I was mentioning how things have moved to the cloud these days, and what the implications are for innocent unrelated parties’ data, given that the cloud involves this overlap of data on one device.
