There’s a difference between willingly handing over information and being required to by law, though, right?

I’m no Meta fan, but presumably if they were served a warrant they can’t just say no?

That’s one of the benefits of E2E encryption, where nobody but the users have the keys. The company can say no, because they simply don’t have access to see them.

Ah yes. All those fines and laws they regularly break, of course now is the time they'd be law abiding executives. Only when it means selling out some pleb and it doesn't hurt their profits. Then of course John Doe here who gets $0 for representing Meta on the web comes for the rescue of our great benefactors.

You’re straw manning. I didn’t say they act in good faith, but it’s important to make a distinction between them handing over the information and being made to.

For all I known they do hand it over willingly. I don’t know.
