> the concept is that a warrant, is court appointed permission to violate legal rights for the scope of the investigation. it should be very simple, if it is determined you need a warrant for search and sieze data,property, statements etc.

The point the person you are replying to is trying to make is that there is no "search and seizure" happening at all. They can get around needing a warrant because no private, personal property is being accessed or seized. All of the information being accessed is not personal, private data owned by the individual. It is data that is owned by a company that is willingly selling it.

Fixing this requires such data to be regulated as personal data that businesses can only be custodians on, not owners.
