It reads as follows: Yesterday, details emerged of one of the first known cases of Facebook cooperating with law enforcement to help incriminate someone for abortion. In April, a 17-year-old girl in Nebraska allegedly took abortion pills at about 23 weeks of pregnancy — past the 20 weeks the state allows. Police — investigating the girl and her mother — served Facebook with a warrant to access their messages. And Facebook complied. Now, the two have been charged with a variety of crimes, including performing an abortion and concealing a dead human body. The case is shining a spotlight on how tech companies will react to abortion-related warrants from police — something that is expected to skyrocket as states restrict abortion rights post-Roe. In this case, a spokesperson from Facebook’s parent company says the warrant it received did not mention abortion. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly said in the past that efforts to improve encryption will “keep people safe.”
