Head fake.
Intended to get people to trust FascistBook.
So, the message is created on FB, encrypted by FB, transmitted by FB, decrypted by FB, and finally read by another FB user, who is to know that the message is actually secure? Why would anyone trust FB?
Your neighborhood watch group might want to try this site instead:
Probably not run by conservatives, but not proven to be a privacy-sucking leftie site like FB yet.
Thanks for the information.
And maybe, just maybe as an extra bonus if you vote for Thunder Thighs, a secret decoder ring and fake email server to put in your secure closet
