    I was born decades ago and 2 months early; in the glass box for weeeeks to beat the 11% survival-at-all stats.

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