"Meanwhile, more so than civil liberties defenders may realize, society is also not ready for “online” to be a police-free environment. Ask a victim of a crime how much they would appreciate it if there is no digital evidence, since big tech succeeded in locking out governments."

Police don't get to just walk into my house. Nor should they be able to just walk away with my data. That being said, if I store data on Google's servers, it's no longer my data; it's theirs and they can and will share it in ways that benefit them.
