True, and ... * Facebook could have fought the warrant. (To be fair, I'm not sure how many companies do this, nor how effective it is.) * people should maybe not trust friends (they told the police she took some pills) * Facebook could be using end-to-end encryption on DMs (or everywhere) so as to not be able to hand over any data. * FB could tell everyone "your DMS are not secure!!" a lot. 3 comments
 @chris_spackman: That's some nihilist shit there. What? Teenagers talking to their friends are not at fault here. Teenage friends making bad decisions should not be blamed for being teenagers. Even Facebook, devils that they are, cannot be blamed for complying with a legal order. The fault here lies 100% with the law, the scum politicians that passed it, and the bastard police that made the decision to enforce it. I meant the friends thing somewhat sarcastically as a way of showing that there was more context than just the search warrant. It's not like police said "give us any DMs where people talk about abortion." They had a specific target because others talked to the police (and as you say, the crap law.) As for forgiving teenagers, that is for the girl and her mom. I'm not a psychologist, but I won't be surprised if the young lady has some trust issues in the future. |

@chris_spackman @DarcMoughty @jgilbert Not like they don't have the tech for E2E encryption, you can enable it, it's just that they make it purposefully clunky and off by default because they make their money off of selling your data :p
