I'm enjoying this app as well. I'm still learning how to navigate lemmy in general (reddit refugee) but it's slowly starting to make sense and Liftoff has been a big help. . (Now I just need to figure out how to get my home page to only show what I'm subscribed to)

The two women told detective Ben McBride of the Norfolk, Nebraska Police Division that they’d discussed the matter on Facebook Messenger, which prompted the state to issue Meta with a search warrant for their chat history and data including log-in timestamps and photos.

What I don't understand is why they told the police that they talked about it? That seems like they wanted to be caught.
