Twitter's new encrypted DM system stores your private key material on Twitter-owned services, protected with nothing more than a 4-digit PIN. If hostile, or if legally compelled to, Twitter could easily decrypt all your messages. It's also MITMable and doesn't secure metadata. Use Signal.

@mjg59 I was actually confused, Twitter is long dead, and I don’t see why we should use this old name even if it enrages Musk a bit. There is nothing culturally left of the old Twitter. We also don’t talk about "Sun" when we are talking about Oracle’s Java and other products.
@frumble @mjg59 the combo of still calling it Twitter and saying "if" hostile made me do a double take and check how many years ago this was written.
