@goof_ball_amir@kolektiva.social @crowgirl@hachyderm.io They had a warrant. Once FB had the messages and they got a warrant, handing them over is required.... Now, having the messages is not. (And end-to-end encryption is part of their response)

  • @kilpatds@mastodon.social @goof_ball_amir@kolektiva.social @crowgirl@hachyderm.io Yep. And if you don't comply, the government will come and take your server or have your hosting provider dump it. If it's encrypted, they'll hold the admin or the user (depending on how it's encrypted) in contempt of court and throw you in jail until you hand over the keys.

  • @kilpatds@mastodon.social @goof_ball_amir@kolektiva.social @crowgirl@hachyderm.io one difference (of many) between Facebook and the Fediverse is that Facebook have a real names policy. So, if you use a fediverse alias rather than your real name, then they cant just ask your instances server for your posts by name, as there aren't any on the Fediverse servers and there are lots of instances you could be on. If they have already taken your unencrypted device (phone , laptop), or they can associate your posts with you then of course they can.
