Should not a query towards some provider about the online-data about some citizen be protected by the first amendment? In other words, if a search warrant would be required to enter a house, unless invited, why would this not apply to online data stored somewhere? There are only very few situations where a warrantless search may be conducted, e. g. such as when driving a car and a cop has an objective and reasonable suspicion. When the court systems is no longer involved, it then means that people objectively have lost certain basic rights, freedoms and safeguards against any governmental overreach.
Of course, the claim is that it should not be considered this way, because it is bad for privacy. But the reasoning that led here is pretty comprehensible.

If the "how" of a situation is newsworthy, presumably the existence of the situation is as well, so the benefit of a more concise title isn't creating a major downside. On the other hand, I wouldn't consider the more verbose title a major downside either, so the adjustment isn't worth the potential issues.
