Facebook: Merging Apps Before the Call to Break It Up
October 7, 2020
DarkCyber noted “Facebook Is Merging Messenger into Instagram.” The write up explains:
…Facebook is starting to unify its messaging platforms across apps. They will start including more of Messenger’s features into Instagram’s direct messaging chat platform. It will also add the ability to send messages across the two apps.
DarkCyber believes that unified messaging may have some downstream consequences. On one hand, certain government requests for data may be more helpful if Facebook provides the requested information. On the other hand, breaking up the company could become more difficult.
