When I first heard about Zuck's quote I agreed with one of the commenters below who views it as an adolescent gaffe.
But in the years since, it's become clear that Facebook is not a trustworthy platform. It is, in essence the social credit score AND great firewall of the US (and much of the world).
No data in Facebook is off limits to governments, period. Think about the many trillions of crimes that have been committed where solid evidence (even confessions) is on Facebook's servers.
It's just a matter of time until Facebook's data is used for law enforcement and profiling in ways that dramatically violate the 4th amendment and human rights in general.
We learned recently that two Twitter employees had been Saudi agents. I think it ought to be considered obvious that most state actors have various employees in key roles in major tech firms, so it doesn't really matter what Facebook's official policies are with respect to warrant compliance, crime preemption, etc., state actors have access.
