- DoesntMatter22 3y agoI mean technically Twitter could have hired a hit man to come after you too. But they didn't. So I don't get the point
- AI_beffr 3y agowhy has nobody responded to this comment? the OP should yield to this comment
- jjjjj55555 3y agoI'm afraid I don't get your point either. Hit man? The police overreached here, and the only thing that protected the victim was, of all things, Twitter. The police are supposed to be the good guys, but that obviously wasn't the case here. My comment was merely expressing surprise at the irony of the situation.
- gretch 3y agoYour life isn’t in the hands of twitter. It’s in the hands of NYPD, an institution designed to protect the public. While it’s certainly nice to have, we shouldn’t have an expectation that a private business to defend us from the corruption of the police. Like, that’s a much bigger problem that Twitter does or doesn’t do
- logicchains 3y ago>It’s in the hands of NYPD, an institution designed to protect the public. It's not at all designed to protect the public; in the US the police don't even have a legal duty to protect the public. It's designed to enforce the law.

They turn it over to police without even a warrant. https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/12/cvs-rite-aid-walgreens-hand-out-medical-records-to-cops-without-warrants/ https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/12/cvs-rite-aid-walgree... There should be consequences when large service providers fail to protect the rights of their customers. Walgreens/CVS are pretty close to a duopoly.
