Facebook: Interesting Data If Accurate
October 16, 2020
DarkCyber spotted a factoid of interest to law enforcement professionals in “Facebook Responsible for 94% of 69 Million Child Sex Abuse Images Reported by US Tech Firms.”
Facebook has previously announced plans to fully encrypt communications in its Messenger app, as well as its Instagram Direct service – on top of WhatsApp, which is already encrypted – meaning no one apart from the sender and recipient can read or modify messages.
Now about Facebook’s content curation procedures? End-to-end encryption of ad supported private messaging services appears to benefit bad actors.
