I rather assumed they already did monitor chat, in order to target adverts, A/B test, handle abuse reports, filter spam, etc.

Even if FB says it has "end to end encryption", I can't fully believe them due to the political pressure under the banner "terrorism/kids get hurt" is immense regardless of us here regarding that as thought terminating cliché from the intelligence agencies.
