The US government has agreed with the US government's argument that any information transmitted over a 3rd party server is not protected by the 4th Amendment. This is why the US government will not do anything to stop or slow the mass collection of private data. They have asserted and affirmed their right to Hoover that shit in tandem.
The best way that I can see to force the government's hand on this issue is to use a dataset like the one the NYT obtained to expose a few politician's extramarital affairs. Once they realizes this information can be used against them, they'll suddenly consider it to be a very big issue.
