https://techcrunch.com/2022/08/11/meta-starts-testing-end-to-end-encryption-for-individual-messenger-chats/ > Meta said today it is expanding its end-to-end encryption test to individual Messenger chats. The social media giant said that starting this week, people included in the test will have their most frequent chats automatically protected by end-to-end encryption. > The tech giant’s announcement comes days after it was involved in a Nebraska case of a teen facing abortion charges, where the company turned over her private Facebook Messages to cops. Notably, if these messages were protected by end-to-end encryption, Meta wouldn’t have been able to hand over these details.
