As someone downvoted me, let's put a little perspective to my argument: Facebook filed a total of 239,388 government requests to user data in Jul-Dec 2022. Orders of magnitude.

Governments requesting user data is a completely normal thing (as long as it goes through proper legal means) since well before the internet even existed. That’s completely different from government requests to censor information.

For instance, the numbers for YouTube are staggering: https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2022/09/youtubes-latest-transparency-report-shows-battle-in-misinformation-trenches https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2022/09/youtubes-late...
