As much as this is a step in the right direction, you have to specifically enable encryption for individual conversations in Messenger. This implementation seems a little sketchy to me. They really should just encrypt every conversation automatically. Otherwise, encryption only encourages scrutiny.
- soapdog 10y agoIf they end-to-end encryption all the conversations then they won't be able to mine all that data for advertising purposes...
- jswny 10y agoTrue, however my point would be that when you have to selectively enable encryption, it only allows the government to more quickly find out who they consider suspect.
