Description

Not actually posting this as a dig at Facebook, it's just interesting stuff. I'm not personally wild about the fact that subpoena relating to getting information relating to one user can result in the forking over of messages relating to unrelated users - I would prefer it if they were required to specify that they were interested in correspondence between parties A and B, rather than just getting all party A's correspondence, but I know that's not how the world works, and that's not actually Facebook's fault. See? I can be rational about this stuff, if I try hard!
