Oh hi there person who I’ve upset by expressing my opinion who is now wanting to go back through my post history to find something to use against me! If you’re reading this, it’s because you’ve already lost the argument :)

You’ve got zero evidence of that lol. Their algorithm is open source btw.
They specifically say they can not decrypt your messages.
Why does everyone in here think that E2E encryption is some insanely hard new thing? It’s been “solved” for years lol. It’s not hard to do.
You don’t just log in to their new chat with a 4 digit pass key lol. You need to be logged in to X, meaning password and (hopefully) 2FA would need to be “hacked” in order to even get to the 4 digit password.
Rules were put in place to stop trackers like that as they are massive security risks, borderline doxing.
The phrasing is only stupid if you are trying to have an issue with it. Obviously you and the person you’re chatting to can read your messages. That doesn’t need to be said, it’s inferred.
End to End Encryption is easy. Why do you guys all seem to think it’s hard?
Most recently, the new DOGE has suffered substantial security lapses,
Did they? What? The made up ones where people claimed that DOGE gave russian hackers access to databases despite DOGE never even requesting access to their systems?
Even before Twitter was aquired, Twitter had an embarrassing memorable history with public figures suffering from security incidents caused by Twitter’s own staff, training, technology or processes.
Funny that you say this after you said this:
Musk routinely hires young unqualified technicians, and abused, laid off, or otherwise alienated much of the top talent at Twitter, in the name of cost savings.
So twitters staff, training, technology and processes were the source of these embarrassing incidents…but then Musk shouldn’t have gotten rid of them?
but could be disasterous for anyone relying on this new E2EE solution, if it is incorrectly implemented.
And there’s nothing to say that it is incorrectly implemented other than hopes and dreams by people who want it to be.
The talent needed to correctly implement secure end to end encryption is rare, on a good day, for a good employer with a strong history of loyalty to their staff.
Absolutely not true lol. Secure end to end encryption is a solved problem. It’s not hard to implement.
Are you? Because X is the only platform that’s legally fighting against government ordered censorship. X is the only social media platform that pretty much only bans you if you break the law, instead of banning you the second you question the echo chambers preferred message.
That’s a 4 digits password behind your account password and 2FA lol.
I literally just showed you why studies shouldn’t just be trusted, and you come back with this?
It’s becoming quite evident why you won’t answer about your education level.
What are you basing your doubts on? When has X under Musk had anything happen to doubt their encryption? You think the guy fighting for free speech and ending people getting in trouble for what they say is going to lie about this?
The guy who champions free speech?
Maybe the mods should add another rule to the sidebar saying only negative X posts are allowed, since that’s clearly all the “community” wants lol.
The fact this is being treated as bad news is unbelievable.
And there we have it - new fully encrypted chat launched on X.
I’m astounded that someone so smart wasn’t aware of how research studies have been being abused forever:
Education level?
Which is why I asked you for some sources for your claims. I told you my experience and that I’d never heard of what you’re saying happened.
So do you have any sources or did you just make it up?
Strange cause that must be bricked according to the person I replied to lol
I don’t even know where to begin, so much wrong with this. I’ll have to come back when I’ve got more time.
Oh so you’ve seen the weights and promotion criterion and know what musk is changing and when? Cause if you don’t, you’re just spreading conspiracy theories.
Thanks for the rule breaking insult though.
