Patrick McKenzie added,
I wish that geeks engaged more with law from a perspective of "We want the same things and have expertise which is of value to you."
Instead of auto-marginalizing by suggesting that government is ipso facto illegitimate, being able to talk about warrant limitations useful!
This is why privacy policies I write emphasize that we default-comply with warrants and default-deny non-warrant requests for user data.
That's designed to signal seriousness to government agents who may feel they have a reasonable expectation of compliance with requests.
It's also designed to signal to users an *appropriate* bound of how far we're prepared to go on their behalf, which is not 0 or to death.
This is a little-recognized benefit of cryptography: As I don't have your data, I *can't* hand it over -- so men w/ guns don't ask.
