The #birdsite is supposedly rolling out end-to-end encrypted DMs soon.
You're going to see a lot of stories along the lines of "Musk turns on encryption in move that will help terrorists and child predators" or whatever.
Do not. Amplify. This narrative
End to end encryption is good. If Twitter does it right, it will be unequivocally good for the world.
The questions to ask are about the implementation, is the code open source etc.
But don't dunk on encryption just cuz you wanna dunk on Musk
@evangreer I feel very comfortable dunking on Musk's E2E because of his track record of fucking things up. No doubt it'll be something like "Oh, yeah, we chose an algo with a known vulnerability because this Russian-sounding dude with a billion dollars offered us a cashflow injection to support it. I'm sure it won't be a problem!"
