After WhatsApp is also coming to Facebook Messenger encryption, the system that protects the privacy of users making indecipherable conversations on chat, increasingly used by technology companies in the post-Snowden. The rumor comes from the Guardian, that the increased security may be at the expense of some functions based on artificial intelligence. With the “end to end” encryption trade in armored messages depart from the device by the sender to the recipient and vice versa. No data is transmitted in the clear and no information is available for reading. In practice it is a secure system from a privacy point of view.
The novelty according to the Guardian will be available by the summer, and only for users who want to activate it. A few weeks ago WhatsApp, another increasingly popular chat owned by Facebook that now has exceeded one billion users, has introduced the same type of encryption “end to end”, not only applied to written messages but also to photos and videos . According to rumors a few days ago Messenger, which now counts 900 million active monthly users, would also be ready to renew with an update that will make it similar to Snapchat: chat would in fact working to add the function of “self-destruction” of messages.
