This is the first I'm hearing about this case. Taking FB's text at face value, I would say: My comments:
> We received valid legal warrants from local law enforcement ... investigating the alleged illegal burning and burial of a stillborn infant.
Law enforcement should not be investigating this IMHO; and the availability of people's Facebook interactions record lets the police access additional information they would not otherwise have had in their misplaced investigation.
> The warrants were accompanied by non-disclosure orders, which prevented us from sharing information about them.
That's just dandy, the government will order large corporations to keep everything secret from you, and of course Facebook is a law-abiding corporation, so of course they will hide this from you.
Secret investigations, constant mass surveillance used in secret investigations, extremely carcerally-minded legal system, and a trigger-happy police in case you somehow get the wrong idea about resisting anything. Verily, the USA is the land of the free.
