1. Compress the file you want to send in an password protected zip. 2. change the extension of the Zip file (.zip) to text file (.txt). 3. Send the file trough Messenger.
I already did it to send MacOS application to a friend. To avoid size restriction, compress in several zip parts, rename the extentions to .txt and send.
File size can be as high as 50mb+.
And if they didn't the headline would read: "Facebook fails to stop malicious and illegal content from being shared on their Network! Should they be shut down?!"
So we want Facebook to stop propagating fake news and hate speech and we want them to do so without crawling URLs?

Telegram is barely e2e.
Messages in plain text on the server? That's /not/ e2e at all! That's just a con. Advice: avoid telegram completely, always. Or is my news old and that's no longer the case?
Every other telegram feature has no security.

> This solution is not a solution. No, not a complete solution, but it's a step in the right direction. One of the reasons advertisers as well as ordinary users come to FB is to be in contact with you -- to have your attention. Stop using FB and you take that away. FB ends up with less of an audience with which to entice others.
There's enough users remaining that your shadow profile still has value and facebook march on. This solution is not a solution. Definitely do it, and you'll really enjoy doing it too - life improves! Just don't think it's any kind of solution to any of the systemic problems that are being discussed because it isn't. Not even a partial solution. Not even a meaningful start of one.

What are you claiming is the market failure here?
Market Failure [1] is the definition in economics for this situation. There is a non-price, non-market mechanism imposing a cost upon us. Just like if your neighbour at the restaurant lights up a cigarette and you hate that and it spoils your meal. You can't very well "give up smoking" to fix that. Just like any public good - eg national defence, it can't be done by a free market alone and so never is. Just like if a…
But you can go to another restaurant that doesn't allow smoking. If enough people don't like having smokers around that those restaurants goes out of business, then eventually you will see a shift in the market of available restaurants with non-smoking sections.

There's no surprise. Gmail does. If you search for a text string in Gmail, it will return emails that contain that text only in scanned images or PDFs that are in your mailbox.
That doesn't mean they're crawling the URLs, just that they're indexing the content of PDFs/images for your search. Which is, honestly, a pretty useful feature. Whereas Facebook is doing this without providing any value to the user.
Facebook spies on everything you do. Stop using it. This is the only way this will end. It's not even a useful product. Stop being sheep.
I quit several years after being on the platform for nearly a decade, which I mainly used to communicate with classmates.
Over time, I realized the platform was only good for pushing false information and giving a platform to people who shouldn't be sharing their thoughts. I also became more aware that I was a product, and it infuriated me to no end.
I'm glad to not be on it anymore. What a waste of time.
stop using facebook. and no, there is not a single reason for you to be there. trust me. how do you think we lived our lives before there was a facebook?

Because the key, nonce, result, and keyshare or Diffie-Hellman exchange are all done inside of messenger... why would anyone believe this is legit? It might be, IDK, but if it’s all inside their system, how could you audit that?
This argument applies to any messenger app that claims e2e encryption. You could build signal from source. But how much do you trust your compiler?
