Tech Company New privacy policy, Is they concerning online security……..?
Hey Mck’s, Today We are not going to talk about any data breaches as companies' announcing the changes they are going to make in their terms and conditions are also important as data breaches as the terms and conditions may lead to visible and easily identifiable vulnerabilities just like TikTok's privacy policy made it ban in India. Well, today we are going to talk about a company announcement regarding the changes in the privacy policy most specifically a company that is most popular for its controversial issues with online security, Yes You guessed it, it is Meta indeed without any delay Let’s get started.
Get ready for a big change on Messenger! Meta, the folks behind it, are gearing up to roll out extra-strong encryption for your chats by the end of this year. They’re talking about making it so that only you and the person you’re chatting with can read what’s in those messages. So, what’s the deal with this encryption thing? Well, the idea is to give your chats an extra layer of privacy. Right now, when you send a message, it goes through servers, which are like middlemen. But with this new encryption, those servers won’t be able to peek into your messages anymore. It’s like your messages will be locked up in a virtual safe, and only you and your friend will have the keys. This isn’t a snap-of-the-fingers change, though. Meta’s been working on this for a while. They started making changes in January, and now they’re kicking things up a notch. As of August 22, they’re upgrading lots more chats to have this super-secure setup. You might be wondering why this took a bit of time. Well, turning on this super encryption isn’t as simple as flipping a switch. Meta had to rework stuff behind the scenes. You see, the way things used to work, those servers could take a look at your messages and make sure they get to the right place. But with this new encryption, that’s a no-go. So, they had to come up with a clever way to keep messages private and still get them to you on time.
They’ve also done a makeover on Messenger, touching up more than a hundred features. Yep, they’re giving the whole thing a fresh coat of paint. Even things like sharing links to YouTube got a redo. Before, the server would fetch the preview of a video. Now, Messenger fetches the preview, locks it up in that virtual safe alongside your message, and then sends it over. It’s like putting your message and the preview in an envelope and sealing it with a virtual wax seal. Now, not everyone’s cheering about this. Some folks, like the cops, say that this super encryption might make it tough for them to catch bad guys. But on the flip side, it’s like having a secret code that keeps your chats safe from prying eyes. And that’s a pretty big win in a world where privacy matters.
Here’s the scoop on how to get in on this encrypted action. Meta’s giving a heads-up that to enjoy the locked-up messages, you’ll need to update your Messenger app to the latest version. They want to make sure everyone’s on the same page before they flip the switch for good. So, get ready for a more hush-hush Messenger experience, where your chats are like secret messages that only you and your pals can open. It might take a bit longer to set up, but good things are worth the wait, right?
