Google Tells Cops to Get Warrants for User E-mail, Cloud Data

http://j.mp/WnC3hK  (Wired)

   "Google demands probable-cause, court-issued warrants to divulge the
    contents of Gmail and other cloud-stored documents to authorities in
    the United States - a startling revelation Wednesday that runs counter
    to federal law that does not always demand warrants."

That's a big +1000!  Why doesn't *everyone* provide this level of
protection to their users?
