      How do we know that Fediverse will be any different? After all if it is a law and you get a legal subponae, you comply with it.

        It probably wouldn’t be.

        The thing is, Meta has the money and power to fight against injustices like this, but instead, they’re complicit, and I’d prefer their corrupting influence stay far, far away from the fediverse.

          Dude it’s not really called complicit anymore they’re effectively a subsidiary of the government.
