The major one that concerns me is who is behind them. Even if we trust that their encryption is not backdoored, there is a lot of information that can be gathered just from the frequency of messages and who they are between.
If it came out that a three letter agency was running one of these networks, it would not suprise me at all.

Well no, but it is used for personal communication
I feel like a lot of the military probably uses Facebook messenger because of the convenience.
I imagine everyone is creating groupchats and assuming other people use Facebook just like pretty much every other job.

I imagine it could be difficult stressing the importance of it to loved ones.
