"We’ve confirmed that Irwin has access to user DMs as part of her position. Given the way the company has handled the Twitter Files, multiple former employees told us that DMs are no longer secure, and have discouraged us from using them for any remotely sensitive communication."

@drewharwell DMs were never secure. The only way DMs could have been secure is if they’d been end-to-end encrypted. They were always insecure but some folks were fine with who had access to them.
It’s similar to building a surveillance state under Obama and then freaking out when Trump gets access to it. Perhaps we have to start thinking about not building such things or accepting them to begin with even if it’s our friends who are running them at the time.
