We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

A lot of folks here seem concerned with it being lawfully ordered or voluntarily handed over. Which is kinda outside the point in my humble opinion. It's tantamount to asking if a slave catcher had a license.

Both the government and Meta are in the wrong here. And it's a very shitty moment for Meta to start caring about fines and regulations.

Every large company complies with data requests from the government. It is required and the fines for non-compliance are large. The only way around it is not storing anything at all.

So you are saying to avoid this immoral act, all they had to do was not commit another immoral act by implementing end to end encryption and not storing data... Yep, I completely agree with that.

If you think someone storing your chat and message data is immoral, how do you feel about this conversation here?

Like there's a difference between a public and private conversation
