Feds raided a safe-deposit box company and opened all the vaults because some of the owners were criminals. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-09-30/judge-ba...

And that was headline worthy news for government overreach.
Meanwhile your email provider can do this to improve some ad targeting metric by 0.00N percentage.

That’s implicit in the terms of the “free” service.

Yeah, that's the norm now, and I can understand that is what enabled the internet boom.
This is very different from the norm for physical property.
It would be illegal to offer such a free service if there are physical goods involved, and for good reason.
To search my home, you need a warrant, based on a reasonable suspicion. Opening my snail mail is a federal crime. When I hire a storage box at a private company, it can't be opened for as long as I keep paying and don't store anything physically hazardous.
In the digital world, all your private files turn out to not be private at all nor is your communication. It is pro-actively scanned without cause. Guilty until proven innocent. Not just for crime, now also for "wrong speak".
