  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.

    Let me be sure I know what you’re saying. You feel it’s perfectly fine if their encryption is done in such a way that they can read the encrypted information on the server as long as they aren’t making a lot of money on it?

      You are way off. For reference, here’s what you asked

      Do you believe that Meta, if given the opportunity, would choose personal privacy over making money?

      And my answer
