did anyone actually read the article? you guys are responding like meta sent this data on its own. it was issued a search warrant after the two women told police that they had discussed the third trimester (28 week) abortion on facebook. they literally gave the police the tip off and meta just followed the law written by the people elected in that state by properly responding to the search warrant.
do i like meta? no. do i agree with abortion law as it is? no.
do i think meta should follow the law? yes.
And she was 7 months pregnant. I’d say that is definitely too late for an abortion in the minds of an overwhelming majority of Americans…
Tf does it matter? 2 weeks, 28 weeks, what's the difference?
Well, the difference is about 26 fuckin weeks.
