Yes and some people think the issuance of those presumed warrants are inappropriate. However, it’s been proven that the government doesn’t necessarily need warrants as they’ve had unlimited access to the firehouse of data directly through the PRISM program.
Prism was a web portal for serving warrants and NSLs, but if we repeat the original misreporting enough times, I guess it'll stick.
If what you're saying is true, these guys will walk because they'll challenge the lack of warrant in court. I have strong doubts that they are going to be walking anytime soon.
Well, I don’t think they’ll walk if there’s no warrant because the third party doctrine allows Facebook to share whatever they want to with the police. A warrant would actually be “worse” … if it’s based solely on a single one-time IP.
