His intent is opaque and irrelevant.

What is relevant is that it is, and has been for a few years at this point, a matter of public record and declaration that you do not have "a reasonable expectation of privacy" when using certain internet services.

You just skipped every single one of my points. You're taking a limited claim and turning it into histrionics. Your expectations of privacy do not work that way. Please re-read my comment above.
