It could be a move to have parity with TikTok, where they claim it’s for safety reasons. I’ve been seeing advertisements for Instagram touting their child/teen protection features. Seems like they’re really trying to beat the allegations that Instagram is bad for children’s health.
Cars nowadays are packed with microphones and permanently connected to the internet on daily basis so that drivers can have remote assistance when the car breaks once every 5 years or so.
It was for plausible deniability because of regulatory scrutiny. Regulator's dead now, so now there's no downside and only upsides to spying on your users.
i am guessing that they just dont really need to pretend to care anymore. e2e messaging was a big marketing push, not ever an ideological thing. i assume they no longer believe the marketing benefits outweigh the downsides.
Is this legitimate? It's so incoherent to see this blurb at the top saying it's being retired while everything underneath is pitching the value of e2e.
It's not only the united states of America. These tyrannical views have been brewing everywhere for years, and there was not enough public counter-narrative to these ideologies.

Protecting kids and Terrorism, always the reason why nobody is allowed to have privacy on the internet.

How these protections are working when I get served literal porn every couple of shorts on Instagram?
When Meta starting introducing E2E messaging it was a huge push. I wonder why they're doing away with it.

Probably Whatsapp is next, if it isn't quietly already.
> Probably Whatsapp is next, if it isn't quietly already.
And I will be pushing to remove WhatsApp if that’s the case.
On the other hand Messenger has moved to only supporting e2ee chats, wonder why the difference.

The USA is going full fascism. People keep laughing at it and only realize it when it's too late.

Wait, people trust communication via Instagram thinking they are secure?
Facebook were at both ends, the encryption was between the ends.
We all know what this means.
I wonder if this is the start of a trend or just a one-off?
TikTok replied recently it wouldn't encrypt its messages either, citing user security as reason.
just waiting on whatsapp to rug pull as well & then bye bye privacy & meta from my life
Wouldn't bye bye meta be hello privacy into your life?
