Twitter DMs are the private communications users have with one another — and a repository of potentially sensitive correspondence for users.

Twitter DMs are the private communications users have with one another — and the repository of potentially sensitive correspondence for millions of users.

It’s “no different than trusting Alex Jones with our DMs,” comedian Kathy Griffin told The Post. The funny lady — who has 2 million followers — has tussled with Musk since he took over the platform. She wasTwitter’s direct messages have never been encrypted and have always been vulnerable to hacking and bad actors within the company, but experts say the mass layoffs at Twitter have left things particularly vulnerable.

“If you continue to use Twitter direct messages for personal or sensitive communications, understand that Elon Musk or, for that matter, any other Twitter insider with sufficient authority can read them. This is because such messages are not end-to-end encrypted, unlike a number of other easy-to-use applications,” said Bryan Cunningham of the UC Irvine Cybersecurity and Policy Institute.

Twitter direct messages can be deleted only if every party in the chat agrees to do so and even then, it’s unclear whether or for how long the data remains stored on its servers.Twitter security around direct messages has been a problem for the platform long before Musk took the helm.

Anyone should be concerned with the violation of the privacy of the correspondence. If you enjoy someone abusing another, you should also enjoy when it is done with you.

Good!

Sweating their balls off

😂🤣😂 The weak-minded always cry about something.

I guess some think freedom of speech only pertains to specific groups - get’em Elon

They are nervous about having their echo chamber taken away....it's very telling.

INSTEAD: 'Who wants to see 44 billions disappear faster than a sports car'

Why,, what are they saying we need to be concerned about..?

Democrats aren’t Liberal. They do not Liberate. They control. They oppress. They are illiberal. The term was purposely stolen in the 30’s to entice new voters. Please stop publishing that term for them. They do no good. The term must be stripped from Democrats.

Frankly I’d be honored if elonmusk dm me on what my thoughts in regards to his progress here, Go big or go home the dems are finding this out

Nervous?😂😂😂😂 How nervous? This nervous?😂😂

Those “more intelligent than civilization” woke progressives should have read the terms: ALL content including DMs are property of Twitter.

Liberals don't like free speech

It's not the liberals, it's the progressive leftist that are nervous, and rightly so.

LOL - I can’t believe y’all refer to Kathy Griffin as a “funny lady.” She hasn’t been funny in a VERY long time. Whatever he may be wrong about, Elon was right about her “impersonating a comedian…”

Things that don’t happen.

That's not news.

Ugh....... Is nervous the strongest word possible here? 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

Wahhh

Nervous because he doesn’t pander to them.

Twitter is already a right wing sounding board it will become more polarized.

BS

Elon Musk Teases Release of Internal Twitter Discussions on Hunter Biden's Laptop from HellThe new owner of Twitter, Elon Musk, said the company may release internal discussions related to the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop from hell story, saying it is necessary to restore public trust. Elon should be commended on his fortitude and willingness to right the many wrongs Twitter engaged in under previous CEO, Jack Dorsey. Dorsey's main contribution from his time and tenure as CEO, IMO, was rolling over his Twitter stock purchases once Musk bought the company.👍 Just do it Elon Giddy up
