> Removing E2EE means Meta will be able to access your private messages.
To put it real simply for people stupid enough to be using Instagram in the first place (thanks for helping make Zuckerberg more rich and powerful).

This may be what finally gets me to delete the Meta accounts I stopped using. Probably won’t stop them from taking the data anyway, but it is NOT OK.

> This update was probably influenced by pressure from governments. Laws in Europe and the UK encourage platforms to review private conversations, to check for illegal material, and to protect children online.
The anti-encryption and anti-privacy extremists may be behind this move. They are caving to the fascists and authoritarians.

It’s a government mandate to “prevent CP”.
Read chat control and mass surveillance.

The excuse of ” to prevent CP ” will be used to remove all communication encryption and anonymity on the internet here in the coming years.

Instagram has never been a place I’d consider sharing something I’d consider needing encryption.

To prevent the President from sharing CP with his fellow pedos?Â
Quit acting like it has anything to do with protecting children, y’all only protect pedos. This is yet another step in mass surveillance.

Til instagram had end to end encryption. I thought except whatsapp every meta app didn’t have any sort of encryption.

Just a way to avoid lawsuits. Meta already has privacy lawsuits. So now since it’s not end to end they most likely will have in fine print that they can use the data in the messages. Then use and also sell that data to influence sales.

Incidentally, Intel recently shared news about their Heracles chip which can process encrypted data without ever decrypting it. Soon enough there will be no excuse for not having end to end encryption.

the all of a sudden ending of end to end encryption is just the us government wanting to spy on us out in the open instead of jumping through hoops to do it.
