They need to add a backdoor

[-] Pika@sh.itjust.works 82 points 1 week ago

that is my first thought as well.

"Shoot we didn't take into consideration that GROK will need to be able to see these somehow, so now we need to redo it"

Bold of you to assume they weren't already able to do it

[-] Pika@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 week ago

I mean fair, but when Encrypted DM went live, Twitter was just starting to get into the AI field, and it was amidst a very uncertain state at that time, so I wouldn't be surprised if they haden't even thought of it.

I just assumed it was elon trying decrypt old messages to make trump people happy so they go after individuals

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

People need to stop going on Twitter....

Lemmy instance admins don't even need a backdoor to read your "private" messages btw.

"We are excited to announce the new encrypted messaging feature that is going to be released soon™"

[-] cron@feddit.org 15 points 1 week ago

"With the latest update, you are now unable to read any encrypted PMs before may 2025. Sorry for the inconvenience."

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago

Oh man I may have to stop using this fascist propaganda service now.

[-] notannpc@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

I doubt this is news to most folks on the Fediverse, but don’t trust Twitter, Facebook, or any company whose business model is advertising to secure your private conversations.

Even if they aren’t up to no good today, it is only a matter of time until they come for your messages.

[-] sparky@lemmy.federate.cc 4 points 1 week ago

As it happens, you shouldn’t trust Lemmy DMs either, as they’re not encrypted and can be read by instance administrators. So don’t use them to say anything that you wouldn’t be okay making public.

[-] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 1 points 1 week ago

You're saying this on a platform that has no business model for making money and basically has no security or privacy because you're trusting whichever random people run the instances.

[-] HyperfocusSurfer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 week ago

Do people really use DMs there?

[-] bender223@lemmy.today 10 points 1 week ago

elon is the dumbest "genius" ever 🤦‍♂️

[-] iconic_admin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

So… they’re definitely adding some spying capabilities.

[-] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Before too many more conspiracy theorists jump in - it looks like they're replacing encrypted DMs with "chat" where EVERYTHING is encrypted:

[-] Bogasse@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

while we work on making improvements

🤣

The fact that he tried to make it like there is a reasonable reason is delightful.

[-] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au -1 points 1 week ago

And there we have it - new fully encrypted chat launched on X.
