WHAT!!! You’re telling me that meta’s motivation for providing the world’s biggest messaging app for free is not entirely altruistic? I am shocked
The lawsuit does not provide any technical details to back up the rather sensational claims.
I don’t trust Meta and will never use their products, but this lawsuit isn’t exactly brimming with confidence. Will be curious to see what if anything comes from it.
You mean that a company whose business rely on collecting user data actually collect user data ?
Hopefully this doesn’t lead to a redefinition of what “end-to-end encryption” means
Encrypted from your phone to Meta, then from Meta to your contacts!
Not really, they use a derivate of Signals protocol. But this doesn’t stop them from making their closed source clients to forward the securely received messages to them. An idea which comes to mind would be the “link device” feature: they invoke it to link their internal client to your phone and the apps hides it from the device list.
Whoa! That’s end-to-end, times two! Twice as secure! /s
if you have anything to do with facebook or meta then you can only blame yourself.
Human are usually social. Social pressure and ignorance of other can stronger than own will.
