← Measured in the wild

chat-e2ee.facebook.com

classified as first-party · 2

This page aggregates measured, corroborated evidence: donors' iPhones recorded apps contacting this domain, every claim below was reported by separate accepted donations and published under a human verdict (later rows for an approved app inherit its verdict). A contact is a measurement, not an accusation — it does not show what data was sent.

What our research panel found AI-drafted · human-reviewed

We ask several independent AI models the same question and publish their answers separately — cross-vendor agreement is evidence against fabrication, and disagreement is worth seeing. 3 of 3 models answered, overall confidence high. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.

Anthropic Claude — first-party

facebook.com is operated by Meta, the publisher of Messenger, and the 'chat-e2ee' subdomain appears to be a first-party messaging/chat endpoint for the app's core function rather than a third-party service. The app's own label already declares collecting in-app messages, user IDs and device IDs, so this contact implies no data flow beyond the declared label.

OpenAI — first-party

The facebook.com domain is consistent with Messenger's first-party service infrastructure, and the e2ee subdomain suggests end-to-end encrypted chat functionality. Messenger declares collection of messages and extensive related data categories, so this contact does not by itself imply an undeclared flow.

Google Gemini — first-party

The domain chat-e2ee.facebook.com is owned by Meta and serves core end-to-end encrypted chat functionality for the Messenger app, making it a first-party operational domain.

Think something here is wrong?

Evidence and research improve when people push back. Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it. Responses can take up to 30 days.

If you leave an email it is encrypted at rest and opened only to answer you — never shared, never used for anything else. It is erased 30 days after we resolve this (or 180 days if it is still open) without you asking, and you can erase it sooner at any time; either way your correction stays, anonymously. Leave it blank and your request is fully anonymous from the start (we store no IP address either way).
