A spokesperson for Meta explained this, telling the Sunday Telegraph that: “As a company that connects billions of people around the world and that has created industry-leading technology, we are determined to protect people’s private communications and keep them safe online. We are taking the time to achieve that and do not plan to complete the global rollout of end-to-end encryption by default on all our messaging services until 2023 “. A different opinion from that of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC), which stressed that private messaging is the “first strategy of online child sexual abuse, because it prevents law enforcement and technological platforms to read messages, ensuring greater anonymity “.
