Facebook turns over mother and daughter’s chat history to police resulting in abortion charges - Lemmy

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/1874605 [https://lemmy.ml/post/1874605] > A 17-year-old from Nebraska and her mother are facing criminal charges including performing an illegal abortion and concealing a dead body after police obtained the pair’s private chat history from Facebook, court documents published by Motherboard show.

I don’t particularly like Facebook but…

If a country makes it legal to criminally prosecute girls who seek an abortion, and the same country makes it legal to allow police enforcement to demand tech companies to handover their data, maybe the problem is the country and its laws, not Facebook.

casual european here. YEP!
