So then start your own company and try it

“We’re open source but not open source enough to your liking” is a VERY strange criteria for “evil” when most other commercial software companies are not open source at all.

This 100%. To not care about politics means to not care about how the entity with a monopoly on violence wants to take your money against your will and allocate it. If you don’t care about that, then you and I are not going to get along.

However, campaigners note that Meta always has to comply with legal requests for data, and that the company can only change this if it stops collecting that data in the first place. In the case of Celeste and Jessica Burgess, this would have meant making end-to-end encryption (E2EE) the default in Facebook Messenger. This would have meant that police would have had to gain access to the pair’s phones directly to read their chats. (E2EE is available in Messenger but has to be toggled on manually. It’s on by default in WhatsApp.)

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.

They are required by law to turn over the chats. This isn’t hard to understand.

Definitionally not journalistic malpractice because words have meanings. Carry on.

It’s not acceptable for companies to follow the laws of the countries they operate in?

Why should they make an effort to break the laws of countries they do business in? If they don’t like the laws, they shouldn’t do business there.

“Company follows laws in the country it operates in.” More at 11.

Great. Do Pinterest next.

Why is Chromium performance so much worse than Chrome?
