So far the courts have determined that since providers invade their customer privacy of their own free will with no incentive or coersion by any government agency, that it is not a search by the goverment. It's just your friendly trillion dollar tech company putting on a mask and cape and engaging in a bit of vigilante fun. You know? Like batman! ( [VIDEO] )
