    My complaint wasn’t sharing data with law enforcement. It was more about whether or not they should be moderating their platform and banning accounts that intentionally violate the policy. I don’t necessarily have a problem with them sharing information with the police when it’s warranted and there is a credible threat, because nobody should be using something to plan to bomb a restaurant or sports game. But the arguments that I have seen (and made) were pretty much “yeah, you shouldn’t be allowed to plan to kill people on this platform with no moderation, especially when the chats aren’t even encrypted”.

    Even back when the CEO got arrested most of Lemmy was crying foul on that and a lot of comments I saw got downvoted for siding with the 'police state ".
