Your governments have been reading your facebook messages, sms, logging telephone calls forever. This attack on encryption is attempt by the governments to suggest that somehow facebook is actually your friend and has some weight in protecting you. Facebook is losing dominance on the access of your communications, and your government wants you back on facebook where its contractors monetise it most with the least amount of effort. The security contracts need to maintain high ROI, otherwise they will lobby for more of your tax money in the name of security.
