The document alleges that Facebook even cut spending on original programming for its Facebook Watch video service so as not to compete with Netflix, a large Facebook advertiser.
Meta’s communications director, Andy Stone, reposted the original X post on Tuesday with a statement disputing that Netflix had been given access to users’ private messages. In any event, Messenger didn’t implement default end-to-end encryption until December 2023, a practice that would have made these sorts of claims a non-starter, as it wouldn’t have left room for doubt. While Stone is downplaying Netflix’s ability to snoop on private messages, it’s worth noting that the streamer was provided with a level of access that other companies did not have.
