#Instagram will #discontinue #endtoendencryption for #directmessages after 8 May 2026, allowing Meta to access private messages. The change, which will likely raise #privacy concerns, may be linked to efforts to combat illegal material on the platform. https://www.androidpolice.com/instagram-is-getting-rid-of-end-to-end-encryption-for-dms/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Roadmap 2026 — Charting the stars of the open social web
The 2026 roadmap focuses on making WordPress easier to discover and interact with across the Fediverse. Key areas include better search and recommendations through FASP support, Starter Packs to help users find communities, a more interactive Reader with reactions and replies, direct messages, and client-to-server APIs. Alongside these, we’ll continue improving interoperability, long-form publishing, and overall federation features.https://activitypub.blog/2026/02/11/roadmap-2026-charting-the-stars-of-the-open-social-web/

Mashable: TikTok says it’s ‘investigating’ its Epstein problem . “TikTok claims it isn’t deliberately censoring the name ‘Epstein’ in direct messages, but says it’s investigating a bug that stops some DMs that include the name from being sent.”

Tubefilter: YouTube responds to “top feature request” by testing direct messages. “In Ireland and Poland, users above the age of 18 now have the ability to ‘share videos you love…and have conversations about them directly on the YouTube mobile app.'”

Three thoughts I want to share about the idea of #encryption on #DirectMessages in #ActivityPub.
The concept of microblogging, what this was all built for, is inherently public. You make an account on these sites because you want to be able to say things in public. While direct messages and followers only messages are extremely useful, and definitely worth having, they are something of a deviation from the central purpose here, and I worry that there is a false sense of privacy there. This may be worsened by adding encryption, as people may think encryption guarantees security. Only strong encryption run by the users themselves could guarantee security.
Conversely, there are people who use these services for journalism, government dissent, private transactions, and other things that require some security. Encryption would further protect these people in ways they might not be able to.

Is the "Admins can read your DMs" thing seriously trending again? :corgi_wtf1: How many times is this gonna come up? The same way that Telegram, Twitter, FurAffinity, etc can all read your DMs, Fediverse admins can read your DMs if they go manually traverse the database for some insane reason. That warning when you start a DM isn't just there for show. I personally don't want to have a heavily limited and compromised social network that forces you to pass around encryption keys just to use it, so please just use a secure service like Signal or Matrix if you want to pass along sensitive messages.

Hoping my Firefish community finds this content useful.
:firefish: Deep Dive - Group Chats :firefish:
TL;DR - Firefish Chat provides some much desired safety guardrails compared to Mastodon. There's some needed polish, but the bones are solid.
#Firefish #Fediverse #DirectMessages -
Conversations, Group chats, Private mentions, Direct messages, Channels - all features on fediverse platforms, but are they the same?
I examined the specifics of Firefish Group Chats and explored the differences between it and other fedi platforms with similar functionality.

The atty for #Twitter told Judge Howell that the company had found both “deleted” & “nondeleted” #DMs associated w/Trump’s account.…
The court papers unsealed on Tues revealed that #JackSmith’s prosecutors sought “all content, records & other information” related to Trump’s Twitter acct from Oct 2020 to Jan 2021, including all tweets “created, drafted, favorited/liked or retweeted” by the acct & all #DirectMessages sent from, received by or stored in draft form by the acct.

The federal prosecutors who charged #Trump this month w/conspiring to overturn the 2020 election got access this winter to a trove of so-called #DirectMessages that Trump sent others privately through his #Twitter account, acc/to court papers unsealed on Tues.

#MastoHelp What methods have you seen Mastodon users using to accept some form of #directmessages ? I have my #Twitter in my bio, but I don't consider that a long-term solution, but I also don't want to list some chat app that uses my phone number. Do y'all have a preferred pseudonymous messaging service? Do I list my fucking #Snapchat lmao

Has the admins being able to read DMs been rectified yet? #directmessages #dms
