FB has supported e2e messaging since 2016, but it wasn't the default until 4 months ago (Dec 2023). So likely very few users had it enabled (much less on both ends needed to protect a message from FB).

The netflix deal starts in 2013. Even after 2016, e2e would just mean netflix would get slightly fewer messages.

So I don't see anything that would necessarily indicate FB is lying about e2e.

I wonder if there’s a timing connection here with FB Messenger “upgraded the security of this chat” messages I’ve had on a couple of long-running conversations recently
sheer coincidence, not to google-slide.
