It's only the protocol for their E2EE chats. There are two big caveats:

- Facebook and Skype E2EE messages are optional, and people rarely use that option, and - Those apps collect a huge amount of data outside the contents of the messages.

Still I think mentioning the greatest data collection projects in human history in the same sentence as Signal which is supposed to fight that is not very good.

Only that the protocol is an accepted standard. Very, very, very little of what's shared over Facebook is E2EE.
