In a statement shared with TechCrunch, Facebook said that "After Sony Pictures’ emails were hacked in 2014 we made a number of changes to protect our executives’ communications. These included limiting the retention period for Mark’s messages in Messenger. We did so in full compliance with our legal obligations to preserve messages.” According to the same TechCrunch report Facebook neither disclosed the removal of messages or privately informed the recipients about the removal. Facebook's terms of service do not seem to specify such special rights with the company, also mentioning company's spokesperson, TechCrunch report clarifies that only users can delete messages from their own inboxes and that the messages will still show in the recipient’s inbox, which means that rules are different for the CEO and other executives in the company.
