Not too sure how they will 'weaken' the encryption

Easy – go back to whatever they were using before they adopted the Signal protocol or possibly move to RCS. The vast majority of the users don't care about encryption because "they have nothing to hide" so Facebook can finally feed the messages into its data silo. Well, once it's reached an agreement in the EU to do so. The network effect will stop a lot of people who might leave for another messenger service from doing so, privacy nuts are probably already using Signal, Wire, Threema, etc.
