Earlier, the company introduced end-to-end encryption as an option in 2016. This is a major step for the platform to ensure user privacy, which is critical for users' true online security.
Meta has previously indicated that the default e-to-e setting is intended for Facebook and the company in addition. But the announcement made by Metta is hard to ignore.
The announcement came in the wake of a news story about Meta that revealed the company had shared Messenger chats with police regarding the abortion of a 17-year-old girl.
