I believe end-to-end means that the message is encrypted on the sender’s device, remains encrypted in transit and on Facebook servers, and is then only decrypted on the receiver’s device. Facebook themselves would not be able to read user’s messages.
- Alupis 7y agoAh, ya that makes more sense. Although I have a tough time believing Facebook would lock themselves out fully... they need all those data points for pushing ads...
- tempestn 7y agoThey get plenty of data from what people post to the facebook and instagram platforms. I can definitely see how business incentives could swing toward E2E encryption for messaging. (Not because most people will know the difference, but because people who influence tech trends will, and are privacy conscious.)
