          You probably wouldn’t have heard about it simply because it’s illegal to publicize a secret subpoena/warrant. Such orders are given as National Security Letters with a permanent gag order, going so far as to preventing the recipient from even seeking counsel; it’s a massive abuse of power and due process in the US to get companies to lie and do whatever they want.
