Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. 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!

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.

Came here to say this. Without e2e encryption there’s no way for them not to. And most big companies like this are in bed with the federal government and wouldn’t really entertain that seriously.

Right. They could implement E2E encryption, they just don’t want to - entirely plausible it’s because they don’t want to say no.

More likely it’s because they want the data :)
