          The country in which the perpetrator lives or the crime was committed. First time using the internet?

          In your opinion, all companies must disclose the personal information of customers whenever a Government says “This person broke the law”?

              None of this is my opinion, it’s just how the world works LOL

              Can you elaborate?

              Not necessarily, but kinda. The gov typically need some sort of warrant and they need approval from the country they’re requesting it from.

              Which Government?

              Pardon my ignorance as this is my first time using the internet, but I am pretty sure that every Government on the planet does not use a universal set of laws or procedures for enforcement.

                  So in your world, journalists and activists trying to bring attention to human rights violations their country’s fascist government is committing in an attempt to bring in good change should be just fucked over right?

                  Because those governments label those people as “criminals” when they’re objectively not.

                  I just did.

                  This may be of some use to you.

                  Which Government?

                  I already answered this one as well.

                  The gov typically need some sort of warrant, and they need approval from the country they’re requesting it from.

                  United States of America? Canada? North Korea? China? Australia? Saudi Arabia? South Africa? Brazil?

                  The point is the app was designed for secure communication, specifically from corrupt governments, which is why it is problematic to allow access to user data as long as the individual is breaking a law in that country.

                  Or to use the example from the top:

                  So who gets to pick what’s a lawful request and criminal activity? It’s criminal in some states to seek an abortion or help with an abortion, so would they hand out the IPs of those “criminals”? Because depending on who you ask some will tell you they’re basically murderers. And that’s just one example.
