  • Those details are unnecessary for this conversation. Cops used Facebook private messages to build a case to prosecute an illegal abortion.

    They have established the process and the precedent, next time it will be a woman only 5 months pregnant. Or who has an ectopic pregnancy and is past six weeks. Or was raped. Or isn’t in a financial situation suitable for raising a child. Or simply doesn’t want a child. It doesn’t matter the details, cops have and will use private messages to prosecute women getting abortions.

    The arguments that “because of her one comment about wanting to wear jeans again means she was just a careless, shallow woman who didn’t want to take responsibility for her actions and got what she deserved” is a load of crap. Not saying you are doing that solely, but that is not a good argument for not caring about privacy.


  • Law enforcement used Facebook private messages to investigate and prosecute a woman for an “illegal abortion”. This is not a hypothetical, this happened.

    I care about my privacy because I don’t want right-wing weirdos and perverts incarcerating me for controlling my own body.

    There are more reasons. This is just the one most recently in the news as a glaring red flag real-life example.
