That doesn't make a difference for me, and most likely for many other people who are against late-stage abortions too. Not all of us are globalists.
If you consider the concrete facts of this particular case [1] (instead of framing it as an abstract privacy or healthcare issue), I think you'd have some sympathy with people who don't find it acceptable.

- mikkergp 4y agoIf you’re not a globalist then wouldn’t you agree that Nebraska shouldn’t have jurisdiction to subpoena companies that aren’t incorporated in Nebraska? Your argument seems pro globalism
- cato_the_elder 4y agoNo, Nebraska is part of the United States.
- mikkergp 4y agoBut Facebook isn’t incorporated in Nebraska
- cato_the_elder 4y agoYes, but the people in question are from Nebraska.
- 0xbadcafebee 4y agoBut their data isn't in Nebraska. If a person is accused of a crime in Georgia, and the person had a safe deposit box in Maine, the Maine bank doesn't have to immediately give Georgia police their possessions.
- leereeves 4y agoFacebook has data centers in Nebraska, so it's possible that their data is in Nebraska. But even if not, because Facebook has a physical presence in Nebraska, it is subject to Nebraska law.

- abigail95 4y agoThere are soooo many reasons why using state lines cannot protect you from a criminal case. Firstly, Facebook clearly operates in Nebraska, and is thus subject to its jurisdiction. Incorporation (in Delaware) is for corporate covernance, not for dodging local laws.
