There is a glaring legal disconnect with popular web services, where they are not responsible for the content you post, yet the content does not really belong to you, for if it did belong to you, the service would have no right to give it up to police, that information being your property. This double standard allows tech giants to profit precisely at the expense of our fundamental rights. For further proof, ask yourself why they can arbitrarilly censor users despite claiming no responsibility for that content, because "they can do what they want with their platform". It is one or the other: they act like tbey own and are responsible for content, but without the legal ramifications of that reaponsibility.
