Facebook tests end-to-end encryption on Messenger | Reuters
Reuters reports: "Facebook Inc (FB.O) on Friday said it began testing end-to-end
encryption on its popular Messenger application to prevent snooping on
digital conversations.
The limited testing on Messenger, which has more than 900 million users,
comes three months after Facebook rolled out end-to-end encryption to
its more popular WhatsApp, a messaging application with over 1 billion
users that it acquired in October 2014.
The move comes amid widespread global debate over the extent to which
technology companies should help law enforcement snoop on digital
communications."
