#makedmssafe — Public Fediverse posts

This is messed up 🐦elonmusk. People need to be able to trust their messages are safe, and rolling out a half-baked version of end-to-end encryption, and only for people who pay, doesn't do that. Stop f**king around and take end-to-end encryption of Twitter seriously. #MakeDMsSafe

QT elonmusk: Early version of encrypted direct messages just launched.

Try it, but don’t trust it yet.

Everyone should have safe places to communicate online, & this half-assed approach isn't going to cut it. End-to-end encryption must be the default, & not just accessible to people who can pay for it. 🐦Twitter needs to take this seriously and #MakeDMsSafe

We are escalating our recently-launched #MakeDMsSafe campaign with a series of online ads, sidewalk decals, and billboards targeted at 🐦SlackHQ executives/employees and the general public, demanding end-to-end #encryption for Slack messages.

Bills like the UK's so-called Online Safety Bill and the just re-introduced EARN IT Act undermine safety by attacking end-to-end encryption. #noearnitact #makedmssafe

QT signalapp: Our position remains clear. We will not back down on providing private, safe communications. Today, we join with other encrypted messengers pushing back on the UK's flawed Online Safety Bill.

Corporate complicity empowers law enforcement to invade our privacy and violate our rights. We need end to end encryption!

Facebook gave direct messages about a teenager’s abortion to the police. In Texas, text messages to a friend about an abortion became evidence in a lawsuit. It’s more apparent than ever that we need tech companies to adopt end-to-end-encryption and #MakeDMsSafe.

A no-brainer step tech platforms can take to protect abortion seekers and providers is implementing default end-to-end encryption for all messaging, so that tech companies can’t be forced to turn over people’s private messages. #MakeDMsSafe #E2EE

Good update from 🐦Meta about plans to roll out end-to-end encryption in Messenger - but we'll keep fighting until it's done #MakeDMsSafe

QT TonyaJoRiley: Meta announced today it is gradually expanding end-to-end encryption in Messenger. "Over the coming months, millions of people around the world will see some of their individual threads become end-to-end encrypted."
Still no word on the full roll out.

Since \@SlackHQ messages aren't end-to-end encrypted, everyone should be cautious about what you say about your boss on that platform. They might be reading it... #MakeDMsSafe

The illusion of privacy fostered by \@Apple is extremely powerful, but also extremely false. They collect tons of data on users, including backups of messages that people believe to be end-to-end encrypted. Apple should #MakeDMsSafe http://makedmssafe.com
