One of my friends challenged me to send a meme pic (just a man crying funnily, no nudity or explicit things) to him through messenger. He said messenger would block me right away. I couldn't believe it as messenger should not check my messages if no one reported. However, I was astonished as it blocked me right away. That was the day I last used messenger.

Software doesn't know if you're an authority, a hacker, or a nobody. Hacking by typing nonsense is only in bad movies. In real world, you spy other people by installing spyware on their devices.

          "users will need to opt-in to end-to-end encryption and this will only work with other recipients who have also done the same"
          So basically no one. Most people never visit the Settings menu and everything is set to default so this point is moot.

                    Even at work people seem to use it for on the fly group comms.

                    I’d rather drop it and be done with Facebook as a whole, I do not like supporting that company in any way.

                        Facebook and privacy together in the same sentence is the biggest joke

                          Why can't Facebook just put their messager in the app? Why two separate app? We have VK in Russia, a Facebook like app that let's you chat or make free calls right in the app.

                                    Great to read comments that call Zuckerberg's company as:

                                    Farcebook

                                    and

                                    Fecesbook

                                    It is also Fakebook.

                                      Facebook, how about you make it sending files on your mobile apps easier like sending pictures rather than implementing stupid themes and other features users care less about?!

                                        Facebook and encryption doesnt work toghether, neighter privacy, anyway....everything who uses internet doesnt have it at all.

                                        So you use it as you want, everyone will leave this world any time soon so why bother?!
