You thought you're safe and private when the content is encrypted? LOL, no. Metadata are much more useful to Facebook, and to the intelligence services.
My point isn't that metadata isn't useful for them, there's no need to be condescending about things I never said.
My point is metadata should be protected as content does. While IM platform needs to know which message should be delived to whom, they don't need that after being delivered, nor have it profiled.
Agreed.
