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!

Oh yeah they definitely aren’t to be seen as the “good guy” and they absolutely could make it impossible to hand over.

They are deciding to favour data/profits over people’s privacy.

BUT the distinction should still be made that they could be made to do it, regardless whether they want to.

Then there’s the whole other conversation around back doors (like the government asked Apple to do in their iPhones).
