Facebook sends emails for things like password changes and sure account activity, and these dispatches would possibly excerpt personal posts or reveal sensitive time stamps. PGP encryption keeps all of this locked down, therefore not even your email provider will see it.

The social network announced that it's gradually rolling out the option for users to place a public key (a type of mailing address, and one of the 2 keys you wish to unlock PGP encryption) and PGP fingerprint (a shortened authenticator) in their Contact Info in the About section. And Facebook is using GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) for implementation.
