This is not so much an issue of privacy (although it certainly involves that).

Rather it is an issue of setting precedent for 'fishing expedition' subpoenas served on someone not suspected of committing any crime in order to obtain information not associated with any specific criminal act. That is a totally indefensible move by the government, and even the non sequitur attacks on Google regarding their China dealings don't mitigate this.
