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.
You’re right, it’s not Facebook’s business, but this 17-year old and her mother sealed their fate when they used Facebook’s platform to discuss a crime. Facebook had a legal obligation to hand over those messages because they were served a valid warrant.
