This is really important. Loss of all freedom by a thousand cuts. A great reason to avoid tech giants (yeah, just try to do so).

Once again, Wilhoit's Law: [0]

Frank Wilhoit: “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition … There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

Administrative warrants aren't real warrants. We've seen a supreme court that tears down anything not in the strictess interpretation of the constitution, but somehow giving judicial powers to whatever agency feels like it wants them is ok? This is always the worst of all worlds from the GOP state.

If the cloud providers give in to this extra judicial bullshit, it will absolutely be a strong compelling reason to abandon big cloud entirely. These dime store badges these losers award themselves aren't worth the tin they are printed with, their illegitemate authorizations not worth the paper they'd be printed on.

Super key story, super super sad seeing the cloud come under legal attack by such lowlifes.
