As a matter of fact, Meta is implementing end-to-end encryption on Facebook Messenger - much to my displeasure because I couldn’t get it working in any of my browsers and thus couldn’t read my messages since Christmas. Never mind, Facebook doesn’t let me sign into my Facebook account anymore anways and keeps sending me in circles to solve the problem.
Facebook and Google hassling me trying to log in after moving to a new home despite a good long password, and thus being on a different network in a different city helped me rethink my dependence on both of those services. Google presented me with a questionnaire that was just weird, with question like “what month of what year did you open your account?” (how would I know, the account had existed since 2005?) and then following up with a question what city I was in when I opened the account (again, how would I know?). With Facebook, I noticed there was absolutely no way to log in from another country without already having installed the app, it didn’t even help to add my phone number to the account.

Google never pestered me although occasionally, I have to confirm my e-mail address for account recovery.
My problems with Facebook started when I changed my Internet provider and grew when I changed my e-mail address. No longer being able to sign in to my facebook account is no big loss - only used it to keep in touch with a handful of friends abroad, anyways. The trouble is that of some I don’t have up-to-date e-mail addresses.
