#2Does this mean that Facebook messages/inbox is encrypted?

#3Is it just me, or does this seem to be a sideways admittance/accusation that the US Government has been essentially 'attacking' Facebook attempting to extract data outside the normal channels of requests from law enforcement?
Either way, this needs to change. We're not on a slippery slope of losing privacy- we're going downhill like an avalanche.

#4I... don't understand.
I'm not a facebook user, so, is it possible to use Facebook completely privately? Without anybody else than your friend seeing your information, not even third parties?

#5Does this mean that Facebook messages/inbox is encrypted?
Hardly. It most probably means Zuckerberg is kind of concerned of the growing pressure to the point where speaking up is smarter than obeying.

#6I don't think I've read anything about FB lobbying for stricter PII laws. Until that happens, I'll write up this little "rant" as a lip service and nothing more.

#7I've called President Obama to express my frustration over the damage the government is creating for all of our future.
This is why I am leaving government.
I am about the same age as Zuck and have been working in government at many levels for about 12 years now and I work with people who have been working policy for over 40 years. The president couldn't care less what most of us think think...but because Zuck has shitloads of money and manages this massive platform his voice apparently matters when it comes to national policy over people who do it on a daily basis. Don't misread this as a hit on Zuckerberg, it's not at all, it's just illuminating who the government listens to. Nothing new of course, but it does hit home over and over.

#8> When our engineers work tirelessly to improve security, we imagine we're protecting you against criminals, not our own government.
Does it really matter who they're protecting us from?

How should they do it?
Do you listen to everyone equally? Can it even be done?

#10It's a little bit weird how a few years ago all those powerful tech company heads were meeting with the President. Then finally it came out that they all had made deals directly with the NSA and colluded to give them access to user's data. And now all of these companies seem to be working very hard to reverse all of it. It's a good thing that they are, and they seem to be genuinely doing it. But it's still seems a bit odd. Zuckerberg talks about the government needing to be more transparent, but FB and the like haven't explained the details of the previous deal they made with the government. I imagine because they are still somehow gagged. I wonder how many drafts of this message went through FB lawyers.
