Old people should not make laws.

The article that I posted is one of the most irritating stories related to computer crime that I have ever read.  I just want to begin by saying that I am totally for the freedom and speech and expression, however there is a line that has been crossed in this situation.  There is a difference between a company (in this case Facebook) having full rights to it's digital information and a company being allowed to obtain and hold in secret the effects of a criminal act.  In my mind, this is comparable to a non-employee walking into his friend's office, lighting up a blunt, getting arrested, and the company being allowed to hold onto the illegal marijuana and do with it as they wish.  The law was originally created to protect Facebook and other such sites from being held liable for what users did using their software/hardware.  It was NOT intended to give Facebook an all access pass to digital information that crosses it's internet threshold.  Seriously, what brilliant mind thought that a company should be given... Oh yeah... Old, rich, white guys... Sorry, I tend to forget that our lawmakers tend to think the internet is a series of tubes and that every company is just someone who tends the horses... But anyways, I just read this article and wondered if anyone else felt the same as me.  There has to be some accountability on the part of Facebook, even if it just means destroying the digital information (as best they can) so that it can not be dispersed further.
