Yeah no shit, they've been don't this in authoritarian countries from the beginning. Surprise, they'll do it here too. shocked Pikachu face
Just because it's expected at this point doesn't make it acceptable.
It’s not acceptable for companies to follow the laws of the countries they operate in?
They are required by law to turn over the chats. This isn’t hard to understand.
I swear it’s like you can’t read. This is pretty simple stuff. They aborted a 28 week old fetus (which would be an illegal act in pretty much every state and every place in the world), burned and hid the body, and discussed it over an unencrypted platform. The owner of said platform is legally obligated to turn that info over.
