I’m pretty sure self-aborting and burying a stillborn baby is against the law regardless of the status of Roe.

This is 100% true, but also this is less of a Facebook bad issue and more of a state law issue.

Facebook was subpoenaed to provide this info, they didn't willingly hand it over. I'd be interested to see how many lemmings here jumping down the meta bad rabbithole would have the stones to ignore a subpoena lmao.

Well it could have been end to end encrypted leaving no way to turn anything over. It's like turning over someones mail after it has been delivered because you made a copy of everything that came through.

Or, and I know Meta would find this absurd, but maybe don’t collect that data to begin with?!
