Facebook Releases Plans to Secure Its Accounts

Social media giant Facebook pledged to begin a new chapter in its history as it revealed plans to be more privacy-focused at its annual developer conference in April, where Facebook is placing privacy and secrecy ahead of accountability, according to Daily Mail.

Peter Wanless, the NSPCC chief executive, reported that end-to-end encryption on Facebook's Messenger service is a risk and a backward step in children's online safety and fully securing messages sent on the service.

Also, Wanless reported that facebook which has 1.3 billion users, was cynically going ahead with the plans even though it knew they would lead to more children being groomed and sexually abused.

Noteworthy, numbers revealed on Monday, show more than 1,500 children as young as 12 called ''Childline'' last year as potential victims of online grooming or sexual abuse, a 19 % increase in 2017.
