Facebook, Google and Apple only cooperate with dictatorships like Communist China and the UAE.

Methinks they doth protesteth too much.

I have 0 (ZERO) doubts that the CIA, NSA and FBI already have backdoors into the Facebook (Facebook IS a CIA front operation afterall) encryption scheme.

They announce this to make the suckers think that they have privacy using the App.

I’m at the point when I see a statement by the FBI and DOJ where I ask myself “what are they trying to manipulate me to do so they can spy on me?” And my answer: trust that facebook messenger is unbreakable and use it all the time. So they can spy on me. Not me personally, I don’t matter in the grand scheme. But yeah, me because they spy on everyone now.

I have zero doubts that probable cause is reqjuires for a warrant and probable cause requires evidence. So when they say "the content would also be inaccessible by the company, meaning agencies can’t get access even with a warrant." they are lying. They require evidence to get the warrant. Once they have the evidence and the warrant they can insert any number of spying programs on the target computer or just bust down his door. They do not need broken encryption or RNGs, although that is possible as well. But broken encryption is a boon for cyber criminals.

I thought Wray’s picture was on a milk carton with the word MISSING printed above it.

You said: "The cops have other tools for catching bad guys. They don’t need to spy on society."

"Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg defended the decision to encrypt messages, saying the platform will still be able to identify child predators by using the same tools it uses to combat election interference" "


Wonder how they do that? Encrypted properly, txt, pictures or garbage should all look the same unless the big boys collect passwords on account setup and password changes for everybody.
