    It boils down to the same thing it always does, greed. They want control of the protocol, and they want all of the messages flowing through their app, and their servers, so they can track who you’re talking to, and possibly extract advertising and profiling keywords from your messages. Idk if they’re actually doing that last thing, but it wouldn’t surprise me. They scan literally everything else.
