... or at least don't *own* where it is being kept. In the older days when that amendment was written, you "owned" your home, and therefore the government didn't have the right to come on your physical property to see private information contained on that property. If the facebook, google, amazon, carbonite, etc. "own" the disks that your private info is being stored, then there are many today that will say you don't have any way to claim that this information is private to be kept from the eyes of other private and governmental entities that own the places it is kept or have access to the places that it is kept, and they WANT that nebulousness to continue so that they can continue to break down the walls of privacy that we used to feel we have had.
Either as a part of "Move to Amend" movement, or as another effort that works alongside it (if it remains focused on shutting down corporate personhood and money as free speech), we need to have a constitutional amendment that clarifies the rules on how the principles of the fourth amendment apply in today's online world and future changes to technology, etc. too. Need a technical task force to help shape these rules in to realistic boundaries to allow for tech industry progress, but keeps restraints on what PTB can do with your private spaces in this arena.
Can't do this or no will to do this? Well in other areas where moneyed interests have a stake, they have adjusted the laws to the present times. Areas like copyright and patent law don't have the same sorts of restrictions and in effect have the opposite punch. People can't download copyright protected songs, etc. for fear of violating piracy laws, etc. if they aren't careful. In that case who owns the "container" of data such as MP3 files or downloaded videos, etc., doesn't *own* the usage of the content that is in that online information, and can be prosecuted or sued if this is misused. The same sort of energy should be applied to protect the virtual ownership of people's private information that hasn't consensually been made public at any time. People need to have a means to protect this, as long as they aren't using such privacy to protect wrongdoing (such as terrorism). And in those cases a FISA court or something similar needs to be in place to allow for timely and efficient but effective and law abiding warrants to search your private information. Such a process needs to be transparent, so that people know how they might be monitored for the purpose of public safety at least in principle even if not in detail (so that those terrorists can't know how to work around them).
