Hopefully this doesn’t lead to a redefinition of what “end-to-end encryption” means
Encrypted from your phone to Meta, then from Meta to your contacts!
Whoa! That's end-to-end, times two! Twice as secure! /s
Not really, they use a derivate of Signals protocol. But this doesn't stop them from making their closed source clients to forward the securely received messages to them. An idea which comes to mind would be the "link device" feature: they invoke it to link their internal client to your phone and the apps hides it from the device list.

Human are usually social. Social pressure and ignorance of other can stronger than own will.
