Meta slows down the coverage of all Facebook and Instagram messages until 2023

Meta Push for a more confidential information it will take longer than the company originally expected. According to to The Guardian, head of defense Antigone Davis wrote a comments for Telegraph warning that the release of end-to-end secret messages in Facebook Messenger and Instagram was delayed “sometime in 2023.” The media company planned to expire in 2022, but needed more time to “fix this,” Davis said.

Additional passwords have already been turned on in WhatsApp, but Facebook Messenger and Instagram still need to start a secret chat (“Secret Chat” in Messenger). Meta, then Facebook, launched a major push for secrecy and other privacy in 2019.

Delays can lead to difficult times, especially in the UK. The country is enacting a security law in 2023 that will require professional companies to prevent violence and protect children. Although it does not want to encryption backdoors, The current UK Secretary Priti Patel was not ashamed of the constant criticism – he said it would “reduce” the power of the law to pursue terrorists. Meta may face pressure to change its plans as time goes on.

Davis said Meta would still have the power to detect violence through a combination of anonymous information and user reports. Delays can also provide time to strengthen governments and resolve potential conflicts. The covert of the chat is not in danger, then, but the length of time increases the uncertainty.
