Search Warrants for Abortion Data Leave Tech Companies Few Options

... they could, you know, not collect the data, or if they do only keep it in an encrypted format, and protect the privacy of their consumers?<p>Crazy thought i guess.

Few options? Tech companies have incredible lobbying power. They could simply lobby for privacy restrictions, but we&#x27;re not really seeing that. Instead, feigned helplessness is telegraphed in pieces like this.

Statement from Meta: Nothing in the valid warrants we received from local law enforcement in early June, prior to the Supreme Court decision, mentioned abortion. The warrants concerned charges related to a criminal investigation and court documents indicate that police at the time were investigating the case of a stillborn baby who was burned and buried, not a decision to have an abortion.<p>I don’t understand why there should be a moral imperative to defy a warrant in this case.
