Facebook Gave Police Teenager's DMs in Abortion Prosecution
This is the important part:<p>> A Nebraska teenager is facing criminal charges alleging she aborted a fetus in violation of state law, after authorities obtained her Facebook messages using a search warrant.<p>Should companies disobey the law by refusing to comply with a valid search warrant from a state government in the United States?<p>If so, how is that any different from Uber breaking various laws?<p>I happen to believe that access to abortion is important (although quite a lot of people don't), but the rule of law matters too. It's not reasonable or logical to believe that it's ok for companies to break some laws but not others. So, I can't really be mad at Facebook for doing this.
