So is this liability reduction for them? Too many subpoenas and this makes responding to them more efficient? It doesn't seem like "messenger is e2e encrypted"

So is this liability reduction for them? Too many subpoenas and this makes responding to them more efficient? It doesn't seem like "messenger is e2e encrypted" actually matters for marketing and adoption so either it is a cheap fiction for marketing or there is a motive I don't understand.
- baby 4y agoIMO the value comes in this order: 1. liability reduction 2. interop with WhatsApp 3. marketing 4. added security for their users :D
- 56friends 4y ago#2 is interesting. I am very curious what the ultimate plan for having 2 messaging apps is (at least in Zuck’s head). My bet is that his fantasy is to eventually merge them into a single service: Meta Messenger.
- baby 4y agoYeah I believe the plan for interop has been public for years now
- i67vw3 4y agoFB messenger is largely used in US. In non-US countries everyone uses Whatsapp. If they drop whatsapp to combine both of them, it will have quite serious effects and completely ruin the whole 'thing'.
- baby 4y agointerop is not about dropping one over the other, it's about being able to talk to messenger user through whatsapp
- 56friends 4y agoThey could do this very gradually. First rename WhatsApp to Meta Messenger. Keep everything else the same. Then with interop being implemented slowly merge FB messenger into Meta Messenger.
