    I’m more than confident that Twitter already had a backdoor for encrypted DMs.

    However, I would bet cash money that the current administration has lost the institutional knowledge of how to use it. So they’re having to reinvent the wheel, most likely by injecting a bunch of new bugs and sloppily implemented hacks.

      I just like the idea that previous administrations just delete all of the documentation on the way out, rather like a fired sysadmin worker deleting all their automation scripts. “Work it out for yourself”
