#Meta only exists for two reasons:

- Money
- Info gathering on everyone for reason 1

[revertron@zhub.link]

@stux Yep, nothing new.

[henrik@eliitin-some.fi]

@stux

end-to-end to end. lol.

[64bithero@mstdn.games]

@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”

[oxyte@mstdn.social]

@stux Meta exists for 638 reasons

[ainmosni@social.ainmosni.eu]

@stux I wish we could add "being made an example of by sane governments", but sadly that's just a dream.

[anubis2814@friendica.myportal.social]

@stux Ai training probably

[stonebear2@hachyderm.io]

@stux Nailed it. well, that and possibly influencing elections...

[alexblock@mstdn.ca]

@stux All the more reason to move to:

- #Signal
- #Loops: https://joinloops.org/
- #Pixelfed https://pixelfed.org/

@ainmosni
You need to find some sane governments first...

@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

[promovicz@chaos.social]

@stux Maybe also:

- unchecked rich people narcissism

[ainmosni@social.ainmosni.eu]

@ozzelot @stux Yep, indeed, therefore a dram.

[knowprose@mastodon.social]

@stux one more time for the slow kids, please. 🙃

[d1@autistics.life]

@stux Opportunity knocks for #Mastodon to - get this - *add* e2ee on DMs.

[ghostonthehalfshell@masto.ai]

@stux

I wonder if they could make any money selling people’s information? 🤔

[ghostonthehalfshell@masto.ai]

@promovicz @stux

That’s actually a little interesting. How many super rich people just slop information between each other through and an encryption on these platforms.

[iju@mastodon.social]

@henrik @stux

End-to-end encryption to end encrypting. Entitlements ensured exploded!

Establishment eagerly expanding in egoism as entrapped, exhausted end-users endure encroachment, as electives exiguous.

[ghostonthehalfshell@masto.ai]

@stux

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

[promovicz@chaos.social]

@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.
