I’m not a lawyer, but at least in the United States at the minimum probable cause and a warrant should be required prior to their use per the 4th Amendment…

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

The only time the U.S has cared about spying on their citizens is when snowden dropped the big leak and they were pissed they got caught with pants down.

You do realize that FAANG are collecting user data and are more than happy to supply it to the government, don't you ? /s

Yes, but that is legally different than a government agency breaking the encryption on our devices without a warrant.

Legally, yes. But the government does not break the encryption. Neither your favourite online provider. You just agreed to let them spy on you (TOS) and gave them access to your passwords.

Yes, they (companies) promise they won't sell your data and only give it to government with a warrant.
