This actually sounds reasonable; most other messaging programs do the same in order to provide previews, thumbnail images, scan for malicious links or spam, etc.

Just another reason to avoid Facebook products : Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp ... I think E2E encrypted messaging is the only social solution that makes sense in today's ad tech pervasive tracking world.

Hold on. Wasn't Facebook Messenger supposed to be encrypted E2E? EDIT: Ok, from the responses I get I was confused. Maybe Allo? Skype? I'm sure someone else other than Signal and WhatsApp were using Signal's protocol. Just ignore this post.
