    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.

                You are way off. For reference, here’s what you asked

                Do you believe that Meta, if given the opportunity, would choose personal privacy over making money?

                And my answer

                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.
