Summary
As such, Facebook will encrypt users messages end-to-end, meaning Facebook itself, law enforcement, and anybody else can't read them; make messages ephemeral, " so we won't keep messages or stories around for longer than necessary to deliver the service or longer than people need them"; partially merge Facebook's apps so users can message one another from any of them (a move first reported by The New York Times); and refuse to store data in countries "with weak records on human rights like privacy and freedom of expression.
