Your complaint is not at all what the article is about.
The article is showing that the proton claim that their new service is private from the US government data acquisition, including inability to access call metadata, is a lie (an intentional misrepresentation of the known truth by Proton).
Perhaps you may not remember the US government's tendency to invade privacy for suspicious reasons (that is, at the very least extra-legal and sometimes downright unconstitutional).
You mentioned a warrant. I do not believe that has been a required threshold.
I am not American so my lense may be a different one.
What I am coming from is basically an extension of the German Laws that Govern the Mail Secret (Briefgeheimnis) which actually is constitutionally enshrined in the German constitution.
But has notable exceptions that can be made uppon federal law. The burden for these is supposed to be pretty high.
I think this should not happen willy nilly. And if thats the case in the US I am obviously against it.
It is a complex multi layered subject because it has to weigh the rights of multiple people against each other.
Resiliency is good, but developing surge capacity is not free, and the US cannot afford it. Excessive military spending bankrupted the USSR.
The US has no chance of ever successfully engaging China in direct combat. China almost certainly has secret drones spread out in the mainland US that will destroy domestic US bases in a single day. As for China's own missiles, they're so spread out that they can never be neutralized.
1000 in 10,000 mammograms come back positive by human radiologist.
50 in 10,000 are actually cancer.
It is interesting that the article did not say what the positive rate of detection was, or the false positive rate.
Either way, of course, The next step would be to have a human eyeball it. Probably in India or China or some other low-cost provider. Only the wealthiest can afford the immense salary of a US-based radiologist.
Fun fact: I know a radiologist and her visual acuity is freaky good. I doubt that AI will be able to beat her unless they force it into a multi-day marathon.
