Every level of government, right down to the municipal level, can ask Facebook to hand all that data over at any time. They don't even need a court order if they claim it's an emergency or involves a child. https://www.facebook.com/safety/groups/law/guidelines/ Facebook admits to turning over data on tens of thousands of people in the USA. https://govtrequests.facebook.com/country/United%20States/20...

Yes, but I kind of assume that political activist does not keep his super secret emails on facebook.

Contact list and location history are scary enough, and I'm not a political activist.
