Replace the access contract/revenue stream with a warrant. Money flow cuts off, information flow does not. The social media warriors won’t be able to complain too loudly or they will be advertising to the public how much they profited from voluntarily giving away their users’ privacy.
Every piece of technology requires approval by the government for patients, copyrights, etc. Every piece of code is also submitted to the government for approval. Nothing can be private from the Govt, but the Govt can allow it to be commercially and for private use. I was taught this during one session of training on long haul communications, along with the fact that all the major IT folks from TelComs come for training and coordination.
