After 10+ years of using Messenger daily, my chats still have not become public.
I agree there are huge privacy concerns with meta, but hyperbole that anyone can immediately see is false isn’t the right way to convince people.
- kyle-rb 1y agoMessenger is also the only one of Meta's apps that I still use regularly and I was pleasantly surprised with their decision to roll out E2E encryption by default. https://about.fb.com/news/2023/12/default-end-to-end-encryption-on-messenger/ https://about.fb.com/news/2023/12/default-end-to-end-encrypt...

- pests 1y agoIt’s probably beyond your 10 year cutoff, but back when Messenger was still just an email inbox on Facebook and the Timeline was all the rage, I do remember a message leak. For some period of time, if you scrolled back far enough in someone’s Timeline you would begin to see their messages as posts in the feed.
- barbazoo 1y agoDo you know though that they haven't been accessed/used/sold? Chances I would say are much higher compared to Signal, Telegram, etc.
- School-Cotton 1y ago> accessed/used I have no idea > sold I very strongly doubt it. There’s no evidence that Meta sells user data, despite people having confidently claimed for many years that they do. But regardless, none of this is the same as the messages being public, which is what was originally claimed. Facebook selling my messages to nefarious companies that want to profile me, while bad, would be quite different from them being accessible to anyone who wanted them.
