    I’m no Meta fan, but presumably if they were served a warrant they can’t just say no?

    That’s one of the benefits of E2E encryption, where nobody but the users have the keys. The company can say no, because they simply don’t have access to see them.

    It ensures those more junior know it’s ok to fuck up. But I will also write up a short summary/post mortem so everybody can learn from my mistake.

    Seeing how teams handle mistakes is a good indicator of culture.
