If I was them, I would just immediately drop the customer. Just have a policy that says they have right to drop you as a customer if the government ever wants to gather data on you personally, and if you get dropped, at least you know that you are under surveillance.
I'm a bit rusty on my court knowledge, seeing as though the class I took for it was like last summer or some shit, but if I remember right, there are a shit ton of courts that branch off ambiguously and are capable of some serious shit without the Supreme Court really having its head over their shoulders. Makes sense, because with our current court system, we attempt to rid ourselves of as many cases as fast as possible or shirk it off onto another court and just forget about it. That can give a significant amount of power to a court like this, for example, because no one gives a shit and doesn't want to bother with all that bullshit. Or, that's at least how I interpret what I remember. Dunno, maybe shit like this can be appealed to a higher court and revoked, but I seriously doubt the higher court will change the verdict there. In our current state of affairs, someone refusing to allow governmental surveillance or showing non-compliance with a federal demand/request will basically be flagged for doing so. Not sure if these guys give a shit, but it could cause problems down the road. This is basically speculation though. I can't really back this shit up without cracking open my judicial procedures book, and I'm too lazy to bother with that.
