eicker.news ᳇ tech news#Instagram will #discontinue #endtoendencryption for #directmessages after 8 May 2026, allowing Meta to access private messages. The change, which will likely raise #privacy concerns, may be linked to efforts to combat illegal material on the platform. https://www.androidpolice.com/instagram-is-getting-rid-of-end-to-end-encryption-for-dms/?eicker.news #tech #media #news
ActivityPub for WordPressRoadmap 2026 — Charting the stars of the open social web
The 2026 roadmap focuses on making WordPress easier to discover and interact with across the Fediverse. Key areas include better search and recommendations through FASP support, Starter Packs to help users find communities, a more interactive Reader with reactions and replies, direct messages, and client-to-server APIs. Alongside these, we’ll continue improving interoperability, long-form publishing, and overall federation features.https://activitypub.blog/2026/02/11/roadmap-2026-charting-the-stars-of-the-open-social-web/
ResearchBuzz: FirehoseMashable: TikTok says it’s ‘investigating’ its Epstein problem . “TikTok claims it isn’t deliberately censoring the name ‘Epstein’ in direct messages, but says it’s investigating a bug that stops some DMs that include the name from being sent.”

Jupiter Rowland@unattributed 𓂃✍︎ @Ben Pate 🤘🏻 @Social Web Foundation @Sovereign Tech Agency @Bonfire Ideally, one day, the highly advanced permissions system available on Hubzilla (based on Zot, ActivityPub optional), (streams) (based on Nomad, ActivityPub optional) and Forte (based on ActivityPub) would be cast into one or multiple FEPs.
This would solve this issue by not only controlling who receives a DM, but also who is permitted to see the DM. In combination with FEP-171b Conversation Containers (which was invented on (streams), inherited by Forte and backported to Hubzilla), the permissions of the DM would be inherited by all comments and replies to the DM with no way of ever changing these permissions anywhere in the conversation.
See, if I send a DM to Alice and Bob, then only Alice, Bob and I are permitted to see the DM. Also, only Alice, Bob and I are permitted to participate in the conversation, and Alice, Bob and I can see each comment and reply, but only the three of us are permitted to see them. The entire conversation has the exact same permissions all over, inherited from the initial DM.
Anyone of us can mention Carol all we want. But that does not give her permission to see anything in the conversation, not even the comment/reply that mentions her. Once the initial DM is out, its permissions are set in stone, and it's also set in stone that any and all follow-ups in the same conversation have the same permissions as the initial DM.
This does not even require encryption. That said, at least Hubzilla does offer encryption on top of the permissions system; however, it's only compatible within Hubzilla AFAIK.

Tubefilter: YouTube responds to “top feature request” by testing direct messages. “In Ireland and Poland, users above the age of 18 now have the ability to ‘share videos you love…and have conversations about them directly on the YouTube mobile app.'”

«#SocialMedia giant #Meta→about to start reading users’ conversations, including #DirectMessages (#DM) & chats with its #AI, with no option to opt out other than not to use their platforms – which include #Facebook, #Instagram & #WhatsApp, which provides no option to turn its AI off. This data access will start in most of the world from 16 December though in the #EU & #UK, which have stricter #DataProtection laws, it will start later – apparently from 4 March next yr»
