Comment on X's new 'encrypted' XChat feature seems no more secure than the failure that came before it
Splendid4117@piefed.social 3 days agoIt sounds like this isn't E2EE based on the article - there has been no papers published, and the verbiage in privacy agreements still states Twitter can decrypt your messages as needed. That indicates this is functionally similar to the old messages.

I guess that’s a fair point. Ultimately, I’m not interested in caring that much about whether or not a platform can read my messages. I just don’t want them to be able to be accessible if there’s a data breach. I would never use these platforms’ private messages for anything that is remotely sensitive but it’s generally a good idea to keep messages away from data breaches as much as possible.
