I guess that's right. Although I'm (most likely) not a person of interest for any secret service. But the data could be interesting for marketing and insurance companies.

Thanks.

That is what the article is explaining.

The planned improvements are a good thing. I thought we talked about the status right/ until now.

Also: What does it mean then Meta (the company) isn't eager to collect this data (anymore)? This doesn't fit my world view of this company.

I don't think so. Metadata is unencrypted (i.e. your contacts, who sends messages to whom and how often and when).
Messages itself are encrypted.

Am I wrong?

Yes, but... number 2?

Otherwise I tend to agree with you.

Sounds like social media for a specialised case. Thanks for your explanation.

I never never cared about my own or other people's music listening history. And I never talked to one who does. So I never needed a word for the thing, I guess.

It really depends on the use case. 😏

I wouldn't know. My geographical knowledge of North America isn't good. :) Google maps points to Alabama and Mississippi, when I ask it about the river's name.
