According to a recent open letter on privacy, Mark Zuckerberg wants us to believehe can combine WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Instagram platforms with “end-to-end” encryption to create the ultimate privacy-protecting platform.

thoughts? what does this mean for society?

After the recent breaches in Facebook and the data that hackers have stolen, I don't believe that Zuckerberg is capable of protecting our privacy.
And I also think that he indeed doesn't want the full privacy because if that happens then he will probably lose data from the users and he wouldn't be able to "feed" his AI algorithms with userdata.

Well, let's consider this for a minute.

Let's say that we want the secrets of FB. We will keep their secrets secret - their algorithms and business strategies and their calculated lies and misinformation. We tell them, "you can trust us."

We won't get them.

But they want ours.

I think his promise of keeping metadata private is just BS. I would trust a cryptographer and privacy advocate over Mark.

What we need is a blockchain based messaging app.

These guys https://bizzpro.co have something promising but we still need to see if they can deliver the full thing before Facebook launches its own token.

Just IMHO but for most people shouldn't really care about those hacks until hackers are able to get your private messages (which did not happened as I know). Most of the other data may only be used for different kinds of online advertisment and worth really nothing.

We already got Telegram and everything seems to be fine with it.
At the current stage Facebook became an unusable piece of shit that can only be used as a newsfeed. There is no point in trying to make a better messenger.
Also, their own coin would be the same centralized garbage. After reading this thread do you really believe that they may do something related with an increased privacy?

We use telegram extensively and no facebook.

Encryption seems great for security and may if it's creates a peer-2-peer link, but given their disregard for privacy and data custody, we'll have to see. 

I think only once there is a truly large scale demand and adoption of privacy focused or rather data custody focused tech, will we see big tech really adapt. 

But privacy will be monetized. 

We really need large scale privacy focused tech and there are definitely a few key players that are doing the work. All of these true cypherpunks are making huge strides in taking the internet back into our hands. Whether it be Satoshi or David Chaum mentioned in the article

Insuring that user privacy is respected by the likes of Facebook would require inspection and surveillance of their operations, unless....

Data from you to your friends, transiting through them... was encrypted by a method unbreakable by them, not of their making or control.

AND...

Your very identity, from the point of logging on their system to exiting it, was concealed.

When the question is data, and someone "promises something" the promise is not to be believed.

Evidence, and proof is required.

This is pretty basic.

Mark Zuckerberg is a parasite. He has all the money and means to run a socially conscious network, yet is more interested in padding his bank balance even further. Social networks really are bad for your mind, especially with all the secret tests, psychological experiments and personal information leaks that have been discovered over time.

They are all saying he is a CIA agent but i m not agree with that. He is more smart and educated for being a cia agent in his student years.

He is a parasite.  i completely agree with that. he is a real parasite for all internet anonymous community. He and his company more like a intelligence service, for dirty politic relations.

I very much doubt he is a CIA agent but do I think he works with the CIA? Yes.

Wake up, people. Operations like Google and FB may own operations like the CIA, or be angling to.

Allow your politicians to be bought, this is always going to be the case.  Zuckerburg is pure scum.

Mark always seems to have some hidden agenda. Anyone in the cyber security field knows nothing is truly secured unless using OTP (which is pretty much impossible).
