Revising privacy law for the 'cloud' era

The government needs a search warrant to bust into your house, search your files, and pull out any incriminating documents. It needs the same warrant for files stored on your computer. So why doesn't the same standard apply when the same information is stored in online servers operated by third parties like Google or Microsoft?

This is relevant to my interests.

Yeah, I've wondered that too.
Now when people get busted the first thing they do if they don't have enough evidence to incriminate you they grab your internet history and point out all the porn and shit you've ever looked at.

One step closer to 1984.
