    Just yesterday here on Lemmy, I mentioned the dangers of violating privacy, and some commenters went on about “what dangers?” Implying there were none…

    Is it not enough to gesture broadly?

    So either FB isn’t actually E2E, or their implementation is Twitter-grade broken.

    Facebook doesn’t use e2e.

    There is a private chat e2e feature, but then your chats don’t show up on PC.

    She aborted at 28 weeks. That’s nearly 6 and a half months pregnant. Most babies can survive outside the womb when they’re around 22 to 23 weeks. This was a baby, not some tiny fetus.

      I was born decades ago and 2 months early; in the glass box for weeeeks to beat the 11% survival-at-all stats.

      Having said that, IT’S STILL NOT FACEBOOK’S BUSINESS as a conveyor and not a filter.
