Do you know though that they haven't been accessed/used/sold? Chances I would say are much higher compared to Signal, Telegram, etc.


> accessed/used

I have no idea

> sold

I very strongly doubt it. There’s no evidence that Meta sells user data, despite people having confidently claimed for many years that they do.

But regardless, none of this is the same as the messages being public, which is what was originally claimed. Facebook selling my messages to nefarious companies that want to profile me, while bad, would be quite different from them being accessible to anyone who wanted them.
