A 17-year-old from Nebraska and her mother are facing criminal charges including performing an illegal abortion and concealing a dead body after police obtained the pair’s private chat history from Facebook, court documents published by Motherboard show.
This is the perfect example of why you should be worried. Because your government can turn into a fascist dictatorship at any time and you ain’t getting that data back.
How is this an example of the government turning into a “fascist dictatorship”?
Reading comprehension is hard, so I’ll help you out.
I can read just fine, I’m just wondering how you correlate this with the possibility of the government turning into a fascist dictatorship. They’re 2 completely unrelated things, that’s why I’m confused to why you put them together. You even literally say it’s unrelated to this piece of news…
Are you serious, or being a pitiful basement troll?
Action is not illegal → Service provider has unprivateable data on action → Action becomes illegal → You now have confessed to your crime
Can’t make it much more obvious
Are you being serious, or just being a pitiful basement troll yourself?
You’re saying because they did thing A it means you should be wary because thing Z might happen, even though things A and Z have literally nothing to do with each other nor does A happening give any likelihood of Z happening.
Got it, you’re a pitiful troll. I don’t care that your time is worthless, stop wasting mine.
I thought ex post facto laws were forbidden.
People won’t all stop doing something they did just because it became illegal. I wouldn’t stop eating bread if it became illegal, for instance. Much easier to justify a search and witch hunt if there’s evidence of previous action.
