>And ... that’s probably ok

1000% ok. Caveat: the warrant is legit and they (judges/appropriate authorities per country) do their job right and don't have 100 pre-printed approvals (a la blank cheque) lying around and just hand them over to any policeman and/or torturer walks in asking for one.

(Also) I am thinking the people in China, Iran, Turkey, etc. where people dissapear in the middle of the night (even public figures). Do we not care for those 1.5bn people because they are outside the EU, USA, CA, AUS, NZ, etc?

My initial point is that one cannot hide from the State. One can only hide their data from the common criminal.
