    We know they certainly implemented it at one point. So it’s not a big ask to do that for Messenger. And like someone said, would probably benefit them too since don’t have to give info they don’t have. But with it being closed source, it can’t be verified if they’re using it now.

            I need to know what your question means to answer it. What money are we talking about?

                I’m not Meta, so I can’t give you a detailed breakdown of how they use the data they collect to make money.

                But you are talking about what sort of money, something they’d get from not using E2EE?

                    I guess it depends how much. If they’ll net like a billion from not doing E2EE then yeah absolutely. If it’s significantly less they’d might still go with E2EE for the PR and not having to comply with shit. It’s not like they’d lose all the metadata anyway.
