From the article:
"He recalled one incident where Facebook detected that people were trying to spread “sensational messages” through Facebook Messenger to incite violence on both sides of the conflict. He acknowledged that in such instances, it’s clear that people are using Facebook “to incite real-world harm.” But in this case, at least, the messages were detected and stopped from going through."
Notable: "through Facebook Messenger"
So one extrapolates that FB actively monitors private conversations carried on Messenger.

Facebook’s extensive but little-discussed technology for scanning postings and chats for criminal activity automatically flagged the conversation for employees, who read it and quickly called police. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-internet-predators/social-networks-scan-for-sexual-predators-with-uneven-results-idUSBRE86B05G20120712 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-internet-predators/so...
