Facebook isn't doing the encrypting. You are. You have the key on the phone.

You could also have the law enforcement public key that was compelled to be installed in your corespondent keyring, invisibly, re-encrypting all those messages for FB, LEA and IC. That way its all "end-to-end encrypted" and giant public messaging system can be selectively tapped by authorities. Everyone loses!
