  I mean yeah, I get that… but why would I believe that? Its trivial to add a label in an app and make it say that. I’m questioning trust here. My question should have rather been: why do people **trust **Meta will do exactly what they say? Its Meta, that immediately sends alarms to my brain saying to stay cautious.

    but why would I believe that?

    No inherent reason to believe that, but seems like lying about this should be illegal. The belief is in Meta’s compliance with the law rather than in its ethics, which, according to these claims, is unfortunately an unfounded belief.

      Why would the law matter? We clearly saw him bribe the president. It was public and in our faces.

  And also because at some point they hired Signal people to design E2EE for them, I think.

    I don’t think they hired them, they just use the open source code library that the signal app also uses.
