I guess I must be an enemy of freedom. The secrecy isn't great, but look. What was the greatest risk involved with Yahoo Mail? You were going to a very low-rent neighborhood of the Internet. The equivalent of a truck stop. Crummy design, intrusive ads eating up your bandwidth, crazy people trying to convince you of nonsense. Think of it as a neighborhood. How would you feel if some militants are being organized for violence in that neighborhood? If they develop evidence that they MIGHT be hiding child porn, cash for weapons, directions for bombs, and yes, child porn, such that a judge would grant a warrant. When did the Internet get to be outside of the real world? Not talking intrusive, but if the guy next door was torturing kids, what are his privacy rights worth in the scheme of things? How about a native ISIS cell? Neo-Nazis? Our police, in a democracy, do have a real job. I'm not saying I've worked out all these questions, but the Internet giveth and the Internet taketh away. If you're on the web you can see the world. And the world sees you.
