Meta's statement about eliminating encryption in Instagram DMs was disingenuous and misleading. Here are the real reasons it's going away https://www.platformer.news/instagram-encryption-meta-whatsapp/

@Casey@theforkiverse.com thank you! There was something off about that announcement but I couldn’t put my finger on it—thanks for revealing the back story/true motivations

@Casey@theforkiverse.com They said use Messenger or WhatsApp, but how long until they roll back E2E for those too? And is this the slippery slope towards no more encryption? At the same time, criminals and predators DO use encrypted chats to get away with crimes...I really don't know how this gets solved.
