Isn't it supposed to?

It's an open question if that impacts their bottom line at all.
This wouldn't be an outright lie - it may well be e2ee but just also shared around.
What would be more interesting would be if they had a way to signal their app to do a search locally and report a match. That would still be E2E but might be enough that they would be able to defend a lawsuit.
I don't know. They promise a particular aspect of privacy and presumably deliver on it. They don't promise absolute privacy - that's my whole point.
I think given the exact wording of what they promise, I can't reasonably expect that my conversations are private only between me and the recipient.
> The extra layer of security provided by end-to-end encryption means that the content of your messages and calls with friends and family are protected from the moment they leave your device to the moment they reach the receiver’s device. This means that nobody, including Meta, can see what’s sent or said, unless you choose to report a message to us.
But of course we won't know either way until it's tried in court.
Eh plenty of wiggle room here

If they were playing games and got sued, I'd be quite surprised if they didn't get laughed out of court for claiming that “nobody” actually meant “the FBI”.
