Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, announced his latest idea. He intends to change the core feature of Facebook and relevant services dramatically.
The Washington Post: Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg says he’ll reorient the company toward encryption and privacy
According to him, Facebook will invest more to privacy and encryption. Users will store their personal information and activity more secure, to broadcast to limited people he or she truly trusts. It looks Facebook will become a living room from a city hall.
Nowadays, Facebook is connected with several leading apps such as Messenger and Instagram. These apps require absolute security level for daily use, different from Facebook itself which is basically open to the whole world. Considering the fact that Facebook provides those apps, prioritizing security is rational at a glance.
However, this direction is opposite to Mark Zuckerberg’s ideology, I believe. His goal is to make everything clear. Secure communication with limited number of people is not his favor.
In recent years, Facebook has been blamed on its fragile security and loose privacy policy. As a gigantic company, keep users’ data secure is essential. But Zuckerberg may be indifferent to this issue. If is possible that he departs from Facebook in the near future, I guess.
