They need to add a backdoor

[-] Pika@sh.itjust.works 82 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

People need to stop going on Twitter....

[-] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 1 points 2 weeks ago

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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

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

[-] notannpc@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

Do people really use DMs there?

[-] bender223@lemmy.today 10 points 2 weeks ago

elon is the dumbest "genius" ever 🤦‍♂️

[-] iconic_admin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

So… they’re definitely adding some spying capabilities.

[-] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks 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 -2 points 1 week ago

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