Facebook will make available encryption end-to-end στην εφαρμογή Facebook Messenger, επιτρέποντας στους περισσότερους από 900 εκατομμύρια χρήστες του, να στέλνουν και και να λαμβάνουν μηνύματα που δεν μπορούν να διαβαστούν ή να υποκλαπούν από τις αρχές επιβολής του νόμου, malicioususers or even from the social network itself.
However, it won't be the end-to-end encrypted chats provided by Apple or the WhatsApp app which encrypts all your chats beforehandchoice.
Facebook will offer an end-to-end encrypted end-to-end chat feature in Messenger and an opt-in feature, just like Allo, Google's smart chat application that provides encrypted conversations only if users choose it.
Privacy advocates data επέκριναν την Google για την προσθήκη της «ινκόγκνιτο» λειτουργίας κρυπτογραφημένων συνομιλιών με feature opt-in, instead of end-to-end encryption by default.
So Facebook Messenger will gradually begin to have the same choice for service users in the next few months, according to the Guardian.
Updating Messenger will give users a choice between encrypted messaging or smart AI features, such as "Bots in Messenger," a feature Facebook announced last month to allow companies to provide automated customer support.
Facebook's approach to providing an encryption feature with opt-in functionality will not be too happy.
Certainly there are many who prefer the protection of their data from an Artificial Intelligence technology.
