End to end encryption on an already publicly known compromised source is kinda false security. Seamless end to end encryption 'should be' essential for modern day mainstream internet use, however you still have to keep in mind the source. If the source housing the keys is compromised, the encryption is pointless. As with 95% of all failed 'security' attempts by people, specifically encryption, it's implementation and use radically changes the actual security benefit from something. In this case with facebook, it's quite obviously just security theater, with the apparent benefit of being 'more secure' while the root problem, being facebook is the issue, probably not the encryption. If such things were truly encrypted in such a way that facebook couldn't view/distribute it's own content, it would probably bankrupt within a couple years. Facebook is a business; and it's financial holdings is the content it's users personally provide.

Mark Zuckerburg: Dumb fucks.

I'll pass.
