Beijing, August 12 (Xinhua)-- Facebook announced on Thursday local time that it is testing an important privacy feature in its Messenger app.

Earlier, Facebook was strongly opposed by netizens after it provided the Nebraska police with Facebook news and related activities about the person involved in the abortion, and the topic # delete Facebook (DeleteFacebook) was on the US Twitter hot list on the day of the incident.

According to Insider, Facebook will start testing "end-to-end" encryption as the default setting for Messenger chat. It is understood that "end-to-end" encryption is a secure communication method that ensures that only users who participate in chat can see the contents of their messages.

It is understood that Facebook was caught in a storm of public opinion before issuing the test announcement. According to court documents, Nebraska police previously provided Facebook with a search warrant to gain access to the client's Facebook account, and later discovered the causes, consequences and manner of the mother-daughter abortion. At present, the mother and daughter have pleaded not guilty to criminal charges related to abortion.

Facebook previously said in a statement that it received a legal search warrant from Nebraska police on June 7 before the Supreme Court voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, and that abortion was not mentioned in the warrant.

Facebook did not respond to Insider's request for comment.
