Eh... don't let your guard down too quick. It's just what they're allowed to do on paper that's gone away.

Any already open investigations (read: all of them, on anyone) are still allowed to carry on with full access to the previous tools... would be a good day to launch a brand new market though lol

This is a good first victory for the pro-rights guys. It's definitely not the end of the war, but it's a great start and hopefully more triumphs will follow. Nevertheless, it's the first major defeat the pro-government crowd has suffered in almost 14 years.
I think they ar estill collecting, just not accessing it. Congress can pass a new law giving them retroactive access to the data.
