Internal Meta communications newly unsealed in a landmark New Mexico child exploitation trial show company employees warned in 2023 that 7.5 million annual child sexual abuse reports on Messenger could disappear. This risk followed the platform’s switch to end-to-end encryption, a transition CEO Mark Zuckerberg had publicly promoted as a privacy milestone.
The messages, disclosed in a civil lawsuit filed by New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez and now in front of a Santa Fe jury, form part of a wider tranche of documents that also reveals a senior content policy executive writing in 2019 that the encryption plan was ’so irresponsible.‘
Meta’s incompetence is going to make E2E encryption illegal for all of us. This is intolerable. E2E encryption is not irresponsible. On the contrary, it should be the default!!!
I’ve become a lot more intolerant of companies these days, especially when it comes to privacy.
Any app dropping encryption, I’m dropping. I don’t care if I use it as a daily driver. And Facebook is the LAST damn company I’d trust, even with E2EE enabled.
If they are actually worried about this, it’s not exactly a hard problem to solve.
Someone is already reporting the messages; also presumably they have the data decrypted. It’s fairly trivial to copy said decrypted data and send it somewhere else (like the system that monitor the reports) – a screenshot of the message would essentially accomplish that.
This seems like a problem that really isn’t an issue.
Hey, at least they know their user base.
Another sign in a long list of signs to delete all of your meta accounts. Deleting mine was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life (along with deleting twitter when Elon bought and enshittified it)
