Sorry, but the phrase “legitimate expectation of privacy” is straight from Smith v. Maryland, with direct and specific implication to warrantless search.

Direct and specific implication as to email? No. Telephone conversations are different from email. Email is permanently recorded, and you accept terms of service when using some that the content of your email will be put through some sort of information-delving.

Are you saying it’d be illegal for a phone company to offer free service with the arrangement that they could perform analysis on your phone call content and send you ads?
