Shamir's secret sharing, which was new to me, still means the password must be unencrypted though!? Otherwise there's no secret that can be shared. You can't get individual characters of non-reversible-hashed passwords.
I feel like self hosted is where most linked images eventually disappear. Much more so than image hoster platforms - where it obviously varies too, some disappear.
Was the form of private messages disclosed? Does meta claim end to end encryption on Facebook/Facebook messenger? That would be new to me.
Having to provide back doors is another issue with the law/government and courts, not Meta or their power.
IMO lying is not an issue of power as the commenter I replied to mentioned. They implied Meta was the perpetrator, the active part in all this. When in fact they either followed law or followed the law while being a shitty company. But they're not the active part, the cause in this ordeal.
If you opened an infected page they were able to use your session. That means acting as your account, including seeing and changing your settings. (Which could have allowed them to change your account email or password.)
which prompted the state to issue Meta with a search warrant for their chat history and data including log-in timestamps and photos. Meta complied with the request
They followed the law. Which they have to do.
This is an issue primarily with the law. It's not like Meta proactively shared that data.
There's huge issues with Meta. But they're mostly beside the point here, and certainly not the problematic power at play here.
Deflecting from law makers, courts, and prosecution to just Meta is misplaced and counter-productive.

I've already seen plenty downvote for disagree here on lemmy.
