Zuckerberg Wants Facebook to Shift to More Private, Secure Conversations

Facebook wants to shift to a more “privacy-focused messaging and social networking platform,” blogged CEO Mark Zuckerberg Wednesday. Zuckerberg envisions a platform where communication shifts to private, encrypted services with data that remains secure and eventually disappears. “Private messaging, ephemeral stories, and small groups are by far the fastest growing areas of online communication,” Zuckerberg wrote, saying he wants the company to shift from a “town square” to more of a “living room.”
