I guess this is what happens when a single company has a monopoly over the search engine market. This couldn't have happened if law enforcement had to request information from say, hundreds of search engines in order to carry out keyword warrants.
It’s interesting to try to unpack why this “monopoly” bothers technologists a lot less than, say, one of a half dozen vertically integrated digital stores for gaming and app devices such as Switches, Xboxes, and iPads.
