Why are people comparing Liberty Safe to Bud Light?

Liberty Safe’s decision to assist the FBI in its investigation was felt by many to be a betrayal of trust. Although Liberty Safe emphasized that it is “committed” to protecting customer privacy, the company noted that its protocol dictates that it should assist in an investigation if a valid search warrant is available – which it did in this case .
