Literally from the first sentence of the first article...

"obtained her Facebook messages using a search warrant."

Second also references a search warrant affidavit.

Yea I know but further into it it mentioned purchasing

Not in the first article.

And second just mentions it's a possibility.

Look, I'm as against this as anyone. I think most people on Lemmy agree the big corporations have too much data on us and don't safeguard it's appropriately, but we don't need to pretend articles say something they don't.

This did not happen in the case you mentioned.
