The state should not.
Facebook should have fought the search warrant if it, say, wanted to hold on to its most valuable demographic.
But the amount that you can be outraged at Facebook for complying with a court order is limited, rule of law (and not just rule of your opinion on what the law should be) is important. You definitely don't want people who have opposite opinions to be making up what they think the law should be.
- staticassertion 4y agoI don't think I'm anywhere near my limit with regards to outrage towards Facebook. Facebook should have protected that data better, Facebook should have fought the warrant, and yeah I'm fine with Facebook refusing to hand over the data and going to court over it. I believe that companies should be zealous advocates for their users, just as lawyers are for their clients. Facebook was not any kind of advocate here.
