#Meta only exists for two reasons:
- Money
- Info gathering on everyone for reason 1

It was a lot longer, but Firefox crashed twice while writing (uncommon in general, but has happened few times in the past two days), and every time I had to shorten what I had in mind. :/
Glad that rewriting this was of some amusement to somebody!
Oh no! Well I appreciate your great effort and think it was worth it. I thought it was hilarious!
Jimmothy Baggins@stux I have my doubts they ever did it to begin with. And before a whistle blower came out about it they say this to “save face”

@stux I wish we could add "being made an example of by sane governments", but sadly that's just a dream.

GhostOnTheHalfShellThat’s actually a little interesting. How many super rich people just slop information between each other through and an encryption on these platforms.
@GhostOnTheHalfShell @stux My point is slightly different: I think that Mark Zuckerberg is a willingly malicious narcissist who established his business on mass-data robbery. That's the narcissism I'm referring to.
I fully agree with your assessment. I was just wondering how many of these super rich people have compromising material hang around in their direct messages?
I’d rather suspect that when they rip direct messages out that all the content will simply disappear because if they’ve done it correctly, they can’t access the clear text.
People with more money than sense, may not even pay attention and keep on using DM
@GhostOnTheHalfShell @stux Quite a few, probably? I'm going by the "we're good on opsec" incident. It's certainly possible that they're trying to spy on each other.

I'm kind of wondering here, but given enough of shift in political wind this feature might come back as a premium paid feature.

@boon @GhostOnTheHalfShell @stux Hm. I see design variants where this could scale, socially. Let me not explain... no need to tell the machine (!).
Taran Rampersad@stux one more time for the slow kids, please. 🙃
Owl EyesI wonder if they could make any money selling people’s information? 🤔
I would also like to suggest there can be a more malign motivation to this.
They are getting rid of it in order to deploy pervasive surveillance. In other words to remove of somewhat secure communication channel to coordinate political movement.
Facebook is openly declaring that they are dismantling any mechanism for social organization and are preparing the platform for total surveillance
Ryek DarkenerWhy not?

millennial fulcrum@stux there are people using instagram...?

Andrew Furrow@stux it was never E2EE in the first place. They always had access themselves. Probably doing this to stave off future liability.

Graeme 🏴@stux Because they want to scan you messages...
Netscape NavigatorThis change is both state-sponsored and to the benefit of Meta (Facebook / Instagram).
GoldmasterAnother reason to get with the times and get @signalapp
ArchiveScribe@stux Thus, why I am not on Facebook (left it years ago) and refused to start an Instagram account. I know I'm still getting spied on by other means, but I can at least limit the damage from Zuckerberg's crew.
Space InvaderThinking cynically, Meta enabled E2EE so they could ride the goodwill of enabling it. A short wait meant more users, enhancing the social network lock-in. Now they can disable it to get more data, and if you want to leave, even more people are sucked in whom you have to convince to leave.
With everything we know about Meta, I have faith this strategy was laid out in an internal document somewhere.
Nu Modular@stux Capitalism spells out its goals:

We don't need no stinkin' future generations!..
*sigh*
TheBeardedNewt@stux with Meta being in full support of the fascist regime take over in the us, it seems ominous that they choose the 8. of May.
As the 8.5.1945 was the end of the fascist regime in Germany...
