Third-Party Doctrine nips pretty much every expectation of privacy in the bud before we even get to things like special carve-outs for Law Enforcement.

As long as SCOTUS holds that business meta-records shared with a third party intermediary waive any expectation of privacy, the 4th Amendment is basically moot unless you self host everything.

Things might change for the better if everyone can get there, it'd basically ruin the raison' de etre of many of the business models currently espoused/searched for opportunities to implement here.

The Government loves when you build a platform. The Government hates when you enable everyone to set up their own platforms.
