A 17-year-old teenager from Nebraska in the USA has to answer in court. The reason: she is said to have aborted a fetus and thus violated the law in force there, reports “Forbes”. Data from Facebook chats brought the investigators on the trail of the allegedly late abortion. Nebraska law prohibits abortions after the 20th week.
The investigating authorities had obtained the young people’s Facebook messages through a search warrant. The data protection of the Meta Group is repeatedly criticized. Both Celeste Burgess and her mother, Jessica Burgess, have been charged. They must answer in the Madison County District Court.
Young people in court: Facebook data “reveals” abortion
The legal charge: Celeste and her mother were charged with removing, concealing the death of another person, or leaving a dead human body. This is the first case in a US state that regulates abortion in which someone’s Facebook information has been used as evidence.
It was only earlier this week that Republicans wanted to shorten the ban on abortion from week 20 to week 12 – but they received too few support votes. According to “Forbes” information, Celeste is said to have told the police that she had suffered a miscarriage. However, the officers continued to investigate and searched the teenager’s Facebook data and that of her mother. They discovered chat histories that apparently described how Celeste had carried out a self-organized abortion with the help of her mother.

Meta-speaker responds: “Abortion not mentioned”
The Facebook company Meta reacted after the publication of this story. Meta spokesman Andy Stone tweeted, “There was no mention of abortion in the valid warrants we received from local law enforcement in early June, prior to the Supreme Court decision.”
He further writes of the case: “The search warrants concerned charges related to criminal investigations and court documents show that at the time the police were investigating the case of a stillborn baby who was cremated and buried, and not the decision for one Abortion.”

Meta makes money from anti-abortion ads
Dealing with abortion cases in social networks is highly explosive. Meta hasn’t commented on how it will moderate abortion content in general. Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook parent company Meta, had only confirmed that the group wanted to better encrypt users’ Facebook data and that they would “protect people” by doing so.
Users reported that Instagram and Facebook posts about purchasing abortion pills like mifepristone were being systematically removed, Forbes reports. At the same time, the social media group is said to have made money from anti-abortion ads. According to them, an investigation by Markup found that Facebook collected personal information from users who interacted with abortion service websites and subsequently made that information available to anti-abortion groups.
