The OpenWhisper protocol, which is supposedly implemented by Messages and WhatsApp, was designed specifically to enable anonymous key agreement between the two or more parties sending messages, and no one else, including the service provider.

Whether or not Facebook actually implements it this way is a great question.

> two or more parties

When you’re having a 1:1 conversation with someone at a party, and then crack a joke and some weird dude 10 feet away laughs at you and says “good one”.

The obvious answer here would be for meta to consider itself party to your conversation.
