  I’m not Meta, so I can’t give you a detailed breakdown of how they use the data the collect to make money. So, let’s assume by money I just mean money from their many sources. It’s a pretty easy question with only one answer.

    But you are talking about what sort of money, something they’d get from not using E2EE?

      Something they’d get from being able to read messages.

        I guess it depends how much. If they’ll net like a billion from not doing E2EE then yeah absolutely. If it’s significantly less they’d might still go with E2EE for the PR and not having to comply with shit. It’s not like they’d lose all the metadata anyway.
