Same for bank records. The supreme court justifies this violation of constitutional right to be secure in your person and possessions by saying that since you chose to share this info with a third party (bank, phone company), it is no longer private and the government has a right to access it. Apparently this constitutional right only applies to hermits.

And if you built a company that explicitly refused to cooperate with the federal government, then what? Assuming they didn't just destroy your company like they did lavabit, they could "eminent domain" your customer data.

The company would be in violation of a court order and the judge can pretty much do whatever they want to it to get it to comply.
