<![CDATA[As of last Friday, end-to-end encryption for Instagram direct messages is no longer available.]]>As of last Friday, end-to-end encryption for Instagram direct messages is no longer available. DMs that you send to people on Instagram will no longer feature full encryption, and your conversations are not protected from Meta.

Meta can potentially see what's in messages shared between users on Instagram, and that information can be shared with law enforcement agencies worldwide.

Including Whatsapp. Meta eployees can access all of it. Some of it might offer better data security in transit, but that's just so Meta can profit from selling it.

Even though I kind of lost touch with extended family because they seem to think if they post it on Facebook or Instagram, now everyone knows about it.

I know this hurts the significant community there, but considering how messed up the regime is; the danger is not theoretical.

Get off Instagram. Abstinence is the only guarantee.
