Meta is implementing the crittografia end-to-end on its platforms Messenger e Facebook. In this way, Meta will no longer have access to the contents of what users send or receive, unless a user signals this desire through a message.
End-to-end encryption also arrives on Messenger and Facebook: according to Meta
Il vice president of the company for Messenger, Loredana Crisan, said the encryption is based on Meta’s Signal protocol and Labyrinth protocol. Additionally, he said the new features announced as part of the launch took years to develop because the company’s engineers, designers, cryptographers and other staff rebuilt the app from scratch.
“We have worked closely with external experts, academics, advocates and governments to identify risks and create mitigations to ensure privacy and security go hand in hand.” This is what was stated by the vice president of Meta.

The feature will be activated immediately, but it will take some time before all users can benefit from this new feature.
Those who oppose functionality
