Meta, the new name of Facebook, has therefore applied substantial changes to the previous roadmap, communicating the decision through the mouth of the head of security Antigone Davis.
Already available for some time in Whatsapp, encryption can already be activated in Facebook Messenger and Instagram, but you have to select it specifically and therefore it is not among the standard features of the two messaging platforms.
It is possible that the delay in introducing this technology is linked to security laws such as the one that goes into effect in the course of 2023 in the UK, and which clearly points to unencrypted messaging systems for the police to carry out the necessary checks during specific investigations.
According to David, however, Meta will still be able to detect any abuses thanks to a mix of unencrypted information and user reports.
