- free2rhyme214 11y agoHe never said that ;)
- anateus 11y agoYes, he did, elsewhere on this thread.
- nickik 11y agoIf they actually do what they say the do, then yes. Thier is no evidence that they are lying, so for now its probebly save to assume that they can not read your messages.
- alias240 11y agoNo, it is not safe to assume that. Edward Snowden already proved that we cannot trust large US corporations.
- nickik 11y agoThats what I said. You have to trust them. As far as we know they can not read it. Its fully possible that its not true but its far more likely that it is true. If the work together with the NSA then its more likly that they deploy bad updates to individuels rather then deploying a backdoor to everybody. That is to easy to detect and it would be a marketing desaster.
- dave2000 11y agoNo, you said it is safe to assume they can't read your messages, which is the exact opposite to what Snowden said. What you personally think is true, likely etc is irrelevant. Facebook could be compelled to release private keys/data to the US government and not tell anyone and you'd be none the wiser.
