So Facebook's point here is that their legal team is so utterly clownshoes that when receiving a warrant about burning a stillbirth they couldn't clue in that it might be about abortion. Their press release is designed to convince us that a local NE PD completely snowed this international corporate powerhouse.

a read the piece as a barking tantrum. that they, a company so magnanimously capable of eschewing everything from taxation to even cursory efforts at regulation could be tricked into delivering a very public, very negative publicity event by not a nation, but a middling state that generates less GDP than the annual revenue of meta.

It also felt like a shot across the bow for Nebraska that a correction was mentioned at all, and so tersely as im sure legislators in the state of two million were expecting business as usual.

either way this is a 117bn company that owns the eyes and ears of nearly the entire planet. piss in their cheerios and 'the algorythm' might make your next re-election a lost cause.
