The scale of it is what is of most interest.
If the court gave a similar order to retrive similar amounts of physical (eg paper) information from your house, and anyone you happened to correspnd with it would be extremely notable and expensive as well as creating dramatic television pictures. Some of that is a deterrant to its abuse.
"Google, fetch" the scale, ease and speed of that is worrying. How is its abuse to be stopped?
