From a cynical perspective, this is a market opportunity for VPN services. As were Snowdon's leaks, which hugely expanded the VPN service industry.

And indeed, using VPN services (let alone nested VPN chains and Tor) largely obviates risks from these bills. Without cooperation from the VPN service, gathering sufficient information for a warrant is problematic.

But I wonder. Might the US regulate using VPN services, as authoritarian regimes already do?
