Users can now request all notifications and sensitive emails to be encrypted using Facebook’s publicly posted PGP key.


does facebook have your private key? In this case, this announcement it worthless.

LOL. No. You put in your public key block, they send you an encrypted email to confirm, hopefully you easily decrypt it with Enigmail (or another OpenPGP email app/plugin/etc), and click the confirmation link inside, IIRC.
