Meredith WhittakerThis is the real, human cost of mass surveillance of everyone's private digital communications.
If we actually care about keeping people safe, we need more end-to-end encryption not less.
Catweazle@Mer__edith, it is outrageous in several aspects, first this anachronistic legislation and the stupidity of posting this precisely on Facebook. Private Facebook message is an oxymoron by definition, everyone with more than 2 neurons should know this. It was probably Facebook itself that informed the authorities.
Coach Pāṇini ®@Catweazle @Mer__edith that’s exactly what happened
Damon Outlaw@paninid @Catweazle @Mer__edith they were subpoenaed. Your response made it as if it was something that they randomly decided to do

@paninid @damon @Mer__edith, in any case, on the one hand it is outrageous that some old men with outdated morals decide on the lives of women, but on the other hand, in places where abortion is illegal to post about an abortion precisely on Facebook, it deserves a Darwin award.

The Christofascists have not forgotten the past.
These wannabe Ubermensches openly pine for a nihilistic Dominionist world with iPhones, ChatGPT, chattel, and every other element of dystopian fiction.
@paninid @damon @Mer__edith, Christofascists work with fear, precisely to encourage a return to the past that they glorify. They do not want a mature and sovereign population, they want submissive and obedient subjects they can command. It's pure lust for power.
@paninid, at 70, my eyes already have trouble deciphering small print on the screen, but my vision has become crystal clear over the years.
