Oh no…now Meta is automatically sharing our private messages to its AI. As far as I can tell, you can only turn it off for each message thread, one at a time (and there seems to be no option to turn it off *at all* for group threads!). Yet another privacy disaster from Facebook.

I use Messenger btw for family and non-tech friends, so don’t (ahem) shoot the messenger.

I got my entire family including elderly folk onto signal 3 years ago. I simply pasted this to each straggler:

"Dear -name-, for info i will be deleted from -service- in 2 weeks. I love you but using -service- is morally reprehensible and i value your privacy and safety too much to keep using it. Install signal messenger if you want to reach me, or use the telephone lines"

3 years on, and everyone is happy with Signal and feel smugly superior to facebook / whatsapp schlubs. 😅😅

@TrimTab @ricmac In the USA, RCS is becoming very common. We previously used SMS but I am happy to see most of my texting now is RCS.

You'd rather store all messages at google and let them monetize your social graph than use Signal?

Okay I envy your trusting nature... I just cannot believe that something created and promoted by a mega corporation can ever be in the best interests of real people.
