Goose chase meme. In the first frame, the goose asks “all the data is encrypted?” In the second, the goose chases a person, asking “encrypted how and with whose keys, motherfucker?”

    Facebook Messenger only uses it for specially marked chats AFAIK, and to initialize one you need to specifically request it. Nothing puts up a red flag like initializing one. Source (Facebook warning)

        Because the default message form is not encrypted. In order to switch to E2EE you basically shout to Facebook, “hey I’m going to start talking to this person right here, right now, and I don’t want you to know what I’m saying!”

          oh, red flag for facebook, that makes sense.

          but then if you care about privacy why touch anything Facebook has made at all?
