I think we can all agree that we'd like to be able to speak privately with the important people in our lives and that some of the things we share would be deeply embarrassing if they were revealed to a wider audience. I'm sure we'd all like to be able to enjoy the freedom to communicate that way, but it's hard to feel that free when we hear about how the authorities are spying on our communications.

It probably shouldn't come as any great surprise that Twitter's new encrypted DMs are a mess. When you consider everything that's been going on at Twitter for the last several months, and also how difficult it is to get encryption right, it stands to reason that they may not really have the right talent for it anymore.
Not that that helps the users at all. If you're a high risk user you should probably treat Twitter's encrypted DMs as though they're not encrypted. If you aren't a high risk user, then you should probably treat them as if they're giving you a false sense of security.

Of course the FBI is raising a stink about Facebook switching to end to end encryption. And of course they're going to say they're worried about kids. Here's an idea - if the children really are their only concern, why not simply ask tech companies to disallow encryption when communicating with children? It's not a hard sell to suggest that kids require supervision. Problem solved, if that is in fact the real problem. I doubt it is, however.
