4A does not protect your rights against nongovernmental entities unless they are undertaking a role traditionally occupied by the government and the government knows and assents. This is typically known as the state actor doctrine. If you look it up to learn more, you will find cases about railroads drug testing their employees and FedEx searching for drugs.

Searching through your text messages in order to tune your search results is not traditionally the province of the government.

>it's OK if a corporation violates your rights

Wrong. It's that kind of shitty, just roll over, thinking that let everything get as bad as it has. The "Just let a 3rd party do it" loophole needs to be closed.

I’m not stopping you from being wrong and I’m certainly not stopping you from amending the Constitution.
