Twitter Encryption : More Musk Makeovers

Twitter has recently added a new encrypted messaging service to its repertoire, offering end-to-end encryption for all direct messages sent across its network. This privacy enhancement ensures that only the sender and receiver can view the content of their conversation, emphasising a renewed commitment to user confidentiality.

Interestingly, Elon Musk, Twitter's CEO, has affirmed that these encrypted conversations are so secure that even he, under duress, could not gain access to users' private exchanges even if he wanted to, by saying "… even if there was a gun to my head”. However, he has also urged a cautious approach, acknowledging that the feature is still in its early stages and may not yet be completely reliable.
