Did Facebook even know why the police had search warrant?

  Presumably a warrant is signed by an actual judge. I'm not sure I want every company launching their own investigation into the underlying evidence behind a search warrant in order to determine if they should comply or not. If we are unhappy with the warrants, we should address that at the judicial level.

  A valid question, I wondered the same. In the US, at least in my state, search warrants have to be specific about what is being searched for, where to search for it, and when the search should occur. So I think the warrant would likely have mentioned what sorts of messages they were looking for between dates X and Y, not just that Meta was ordered to turn over the entire message history for a user.
