Meta Implements Full End-to-End Encryption for Facebook and Messenger

Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook and Messenger, has announced the rollout of end-to-end encryption for all personal chats and calls on its platforms. While the feature is available immediately, it may take some time for all Messenger accounts to be updated. Previously, users had the option to enable end-to-end encryption, but now it will be the default setting. Meta believes that encryption can enhance user safety by protecting them from hackers, fraudsters, and criminals. However, the implementation of end-to-end encryption has been a contentious issue between companies and governments.
