#Meta only exists for two reasons:
- Money
- Info gathering on everyone for reason 1

@stux need more data to feed the AI slop engine.
@stux with Meta being in full support of the fascist regime take over in the us, it seems ominous that they choose the 8. of May.
As the 8.5.1945 was the end of the fascist regime in Germany...
@stux Capitalism spells out its goals:
pro:fit
over
am:a:unfit
We don't need no stinkin' future generations!..
*sigh*
@stux I cannot understand why people continue to use Insta. It's a shithole. When I see that a person or business has an Insta profile, I'm out. I have no use for people with zero principles.
Thinking cynically, Meta enabled E2EE so they could ride the goodwill of enabling it. A short wait meant more users, enhancing the social network lock-in. Now they can disable it to get more data, and if you want to leave, even more people are sucked in whom you have to convince to leave.
With everything we know about Meta, I have faith this strategy was laid out in an internal document somewhere.
@stux Thus, why I am not on Facebook (left it years ago) and refused to start an Instagram account. I know I'm still getting spied on by other means, but I can at least limit the damage from Zuckerberg's crew.
Another reason to get with the times and get @signalapp
This change is both state-sponsored and to the benefit of Meta (Facebook / Instagram).
@stux Because they want to scan you messages...
@stux what a coincidence! I just deleted my ig account today
@stux Thats not good at all lol.
@stux it was never E2EE in the first place. They always had access themselves. Probably doing this to stave off future liability.
@stux Three… - the continuing illusion of solving a self worth problem for the one who developed the original facebook application.
@stux And of the major tech companies the easiest to totally disengage with.
@stux see, thats why they called it end to end
I would also like to suggest there can be a more malign motivation to this.
They are getting rid of it in order to deploy pervasive surveillance. In other words to remove of somewhat secure communication channel to coordinate political movement.
Facebook is openly declaring that they are dismantling any mechanism for social organization and are preparing the platform for total surveillance
I wonder if they could make any money selling people’s information? 🤔
@stux one more time for the slow kids, please. 🙃
@stux Maybe also:
- unchecked rich people narcissism
That’s actually a little interesting. How many super rich people just slop information between each other through and an encryption on these platforms.
@GhostOnTheHalfShell @stux My point is slightly different: I think that Mark Zuckerberg is a willingly malicious narcissist who established his business on mass-data robbery. That's the narcissism I'm referring to.
I fully agree with your assessment. I was just wondering how many of these super rich people have compromising material hang around in their direct messages?
I’d rather suspect that when they rip direct messages out that all the content will simply disappear because if they’ve done it correctly, they can’t access the clear text.
People with more money than sense, may not even pay attention and keep on using DM
@GhostOnTheHalfShell @stux Quite a few, probably? I'm going by the "we're good on opsec" incident. It's certainly possible that they're trying to spy on each other.
@stux In the USA we now have the added influence of:
3 - do what government (ie the Trump dynasty) wants in order to continue pursuing 1
@stux I have my doubts they ever did it to begin with. And before a whistle blower came out about it they say this to “save face”
end-to-end to end. lol.
