Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“required disclosure to the government of virtually every kind of data that could be found in a social media account,”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The means of hiding evidence on a hard drive-obscure folders, misnamed files, encrypted data-are not currently possible in the context of a Facebook account. Hard drive searches require time-consuming electronic forensic investigation with special equipment, and conducting that kind of search in the defendant's home would be impractical, if not impossible. By contrast, when it comes to Facebook account searches, the government need only send a request with the specific data sought and Facebook will respond with precisely that data. That procedure does not appear to be impractical for Facebook or for the government. Facebook produced data in response to over 9500 search warrants in the six-month period between July and December 2015.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[u]nder 18 U.S.C. § 1591 (c), in order to prove knowledge for purposes of § 1591(a) , the government did not need to prove that [the defendant] had actual knowledge that [the victim] was underage; it needed to prove only that [the defendant] had a 'reasonable opportunity' to observe [the victim].”
