Elon Musk, who recently became the new owner of Twitter, suggested adding end-to-end encryption (E2EE) to the popular platform for DM.

“Twitter DMs should have end to end encryption like Signal, so no one can spy on or hack your messages”

Mask said in a tweet.

He also pointed out in the statement that freedom of speech is the foundation of a functional democracy, and that Twitter is a digital center in which topics important for human society are discussed.

“I also want to make Twitter better than ever, improving it with new features, making algorithms open-source, eradicating spambots, and verifying all people,” says Musk.

“Because they are not encrypted, Twitter itself has access to instant messaging,” the EFF said.
