That means you're under active investigation and there's already a subpoena or warrant in place.

If you don't want somebody reading your steamy emails or social media postings in the future, you have options... don't create them, delete, or store on physical media in your home.

This sounds awfully close to "don't worry if you have nothing to hide". How about this; I'll create whatever steamy emails I feel like, and I'll use services that preserve my privacy while I do it.

No, it is more "manage risk".

If you are a cop, teacher, etc where your employer will demand to inspect your social media, you need to act appropriately.

If you are generally concerned about privacy -- US Mail.

"Acting appropriately" in that case involves telling your employer to mind their own damned business.
