- fritigern 4y agoI'm sure the traffic is encrypted. But it's trivially easy for Facebook to copy your private key to their servers.

- tcfhgj 4y agoThat's exactly how it works. You can claim a lot of the day is long when the app is closed source
- hiq 4y agoI invite you to read the comment I linked.
- fritigern 4y agoNonsense. The app is closed source. Facebook could be copying all your private keys to their servers and you would never know.
