So basically this is just the government using private companies to do an end run around the 4th amend.?



It's not an end run because the 4th amendment allows warrants.


Not from the US, but I cannot imagine that it allows dragnet surveillance. Since that is common practice, I don't think the 4th amendment doesn't do anything to be honest.
