If it works, the social-networking giant will become more private and more powerful

big overhaul for Facebook came in 2012-14. Internet users were carrying out ever more tasks on smartphones rather than desktop or laptop computers. Mark Zuckerberg opted to follow them, concentrating on Facebook’s mobile app ahead of its website, and buying up two fast-growing communication apps, WhatsApp and Instagram. It worked. Facebook increased its market valuation from around $60bn at the end of 2012 to—for a brief period in 2018—more than $600bn.

Still, he intends to do it. Mr Zuckerberg claims that users will benefit from his plan to integrate its messaging apps into a single, encrypted network. The content of messages will be safe from prying eyes of authoritarian snoops and criminals, as well as from Facebook itself. It will make messaging more convenient, and make profitable new services possible. But caution is warranted for three reasons.

End-to-end encryption will also make Facebook’s business cheaper to run. Because it will be mathematically impossible to moderate encrypted communications, the firm will have an excuse to take less responsibility for content running through its apps, limiting its moderation costs.

Mais um pra disrupt CIEL3

Very weird that the most important platform that bring to the light all the lies from USA government that is trying to invade Venezuela.

Just trying to stay one step ahead of the regulators.

Will it be “down” for hours on end like Facebook and Instagram have been today? No thanks! Anyone other than MarkZuckerberg, at this point, is more credible and reliable 🙄

Hope it works better than Facebook did today.

why are you promoting a crook?

Probably needs to include not being shutdown for a day....

Probably underselling the risks too given Facebook is still broken FacebookDown

Presuming Facebook is actually working of course

Ask George Soros how nice Facebook has been to him.

Mark Zuckerberg is a crook. Ask parents about credit charges when their kids play games on FB. Ask how many payments in Rubles Facebook accepted in 2016. Ask Apple how it was able to hide from Facebook users all indicators that its devices were even asking for data.

But Facebookdown rn!!!!!!!!

nicce one

Love the use of the word probably 🧐

There is no benefit into it as long as those ads and promotions are popping up and distracting me facebook instagram

This is Facebook desperately trying to stay relevant.

not the best timing for this post 🧐 justsaying ^^

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄😏

He should probably connect with Wikipedia and overwrite one’s version of the truth with the actual truth...gotta ❤️FB messenger and automation...🙄

Before he announces the model try making sure all systems work!!!

The benefit of having it all integrated is that when one part goes down, it all goes down, and people can go back to being happy.

rip facebook

Probably?
