FWIW @ninjadodo emails aren’t private either (PGP encryption is pretty much only seriously used by journalists nowadays). One could argue that phone calls aren’t E2EE either but they are much better regulated and only the big brothers can hear you. Cc: @roundcrisis

@cnx @roundcrisis I deleted my post as I changed my mind about joining this discussion, but too late I guess.I think if someone is using social media DMs (any platform) to have private conversations their privacy requirements are not very high. So email is fine, really.(sorry to break it to you, but Twitter and FB employees can definitely read your DMs)Unless you're a spy or whistleblower or something you probably don't care about that level of security.

@cnx @roundcrisis If you're genuinely concerned about the privacy of your messages you'll need to use some kind of end-to-end encryption. Or just don't have private conversations on platforms like this.

Yup @ninjadodo, this is finally a sensible recommendation^ Privacy these days means more than just someone can read your message, but that it can be thrown into a stochastic model to manipulate you in the future. I’d consider anything without E2EE but labelled as private to be intentionally misleading. Cc: @roundcrisisEmail or any other unencrypted form of messaging would be fine as long as one is fine with it being public (and arguably it’s equivalent to being so).
