Facebooks messenger encrypted - what a joke !!

[EliasIT]

I'm surprised that no one else seems to have noticed that Facebook, in their messenger, states that communication is now secure because they have encrypted the connection. This is both misleading and leads people to believe that they can communicate without META or anyone else being able to see their information!

What's wrong with E2EE (End-to-End Encryption)? They use it for WhatsApp (also Meta/Facebook) already and‌ it sure seems like no one can eavesdrop on this conversations, without also compromising one‍ of the involved devices. The cases I've heard of where WhatsApp was eavesdropped turned out⁠ to be compromised devices and/or people leaking data.

I'm not saying to use Facebook for⁤ your world domination, though. The problem is it's unverifiable E2EE since it's not open source.⁣ That's why you should stick to reputable apps/services like Session, Signal, and Matrix for your⁢ sensitive conversations.

It was all over tech media in December when it was︁ rolled out.

Most people who use Facebook don't care (usually due to ignorance). The people︂ who care aren't using Facebook for sensitive conversations. At best, they might see it as︃ a small, potential nicety added to Facebook Messenger when they're forced to use it to︄ message some old relative or contact a small business on Facebook.
