"And until this feature is ready, we will no longer be deleting any executives’ messages. We should have done this sooner — and we’re sorry that we did not."
This says a lot about the current situation. What else don't we know?

It raises the question...what other liberties did Zuckerberg take on facebook? The reddit thing was petty, but didn't really do any material damage. Uber's God View was more troubling...showing how you could track politicians/celebs usage of the platform. But facebook...this admission opens the door to speculation that Zuckerberg could have theoretically taken ad hoc 'God Mode' actions against users of his personal i…

Wow thanks for clarifying. That is absolutely deceptive. The UI never mentions that, but I found some support docs that do. I imagine the majority of people deleting messages aren't aware of this...
In what way is this deceptive? When you delete emails do you expect it to disappear from the other person's inbox as well?
Email is decentralized so that's obviously impossible to do. Facebook is not.

#96This was discussed and patented already in June 2016. Here is an article, including a link to the patent: http://techpp.com/2016/06/24/facebook-messenger-unsend-messa... .

I don’t think it was developed for Zuck in the last few days. I imagine it’s always been there but they never planned to turn it on for normal users. Just a secret ability for some insiders. Now that people know, it’s a “feature we’re developing” instead of an internal tool/ability.
I'm not saying it was developed for Zuck in the last few days. Yeah, I think it was definitely an internal tool or secret ability before. But one could easily imagine that they really were going to roll it out to public users sometime -- and now they're rolling it out earlier to save some face.
One could easily imagine that Zuckerberg had his users best interests at heart.
However, none of his behavior so far has given us any reason to give him or Facebook the benefit of the doubt

#100A.K.A. Zuckerberg did something that was supposed to be impossible and to explain how he did it they have now announced a new feature they just thought up as cover.
Reddit should have done the same. /s https://www.theverge.com/2016/11/23/13739026/reddit-ceo-stev...
Crazy thing is Reddit didn't even revoke his access. (Why does a CEO need access to prod?)
