If you're #trans or might ever need to end a pregnancy PLEASE do not use #Threads.
Boost this. Protect your damn friends.

Facebook turns over mother and daughter’s chat history to police resulting in abortion charges
Police in Nebraska have charged a teenager and her mother with a series of felonies and misdemeanors after Facebook gave up the pair’s private chat history in response to a search warrant.James Vincent (The Verge)

•@LCWebsXOXO #NYCCPirates I agree with the warning but this particular event doesn’t particularly show malfeasance from Meta.
The police was tipped off, they brought the women for questioning. They mentioned Facebook Messenger so the police issued a search warrant that any other American company would have had to comply with. Then they seized the women’s devices which would have defeated even end-to-end encryption.
The main drivers of this unfortunate outcome are the initial tip-off and that the women talked to the police. Anything beyond that is irrelevant of most companies/privacy technology.
