"Shoot we didn't take into consideration that GROK will need to be able to see these somehow, so now we need to redo it"

Bold of you to assume they weren't already able to do it

I mean fair, but when Encrypted DM went live, Twitter was just starting to get into the AI field, and it was amidst a very uncertain state at that time, so I wouldn't be surprised if they haden't even thought of it.

Oh man I may have to stop using this fascist propaganda service now.

"With the latest update, you are now unable to read any encrypted PMs before may 2025. Sorry for the inconvenience."

I doubt this is news to most folks on the Fediverse, but don’t trust Twitter, Facebook, or any company whose business model is advertising to secure your private conversations.
Even if they aren’t up to no good today, it is only a matter of time until they come for your messages.

As it happens, you shouldn’t trust Lemmy DMs either, as they’re not encrypted and can be read by instance administrators. So don’t use them to say anything that you wouldn’t be okay making public.

You're saying this on a platform that has no business model for making money and basically has no security or privacy because you're trusting whichever random people run the instances.

Lemmy instance admins don't even need a backdoor to read your "private" messages btw.

Before too many more conspiracy theorists jump in - it looks like they're replacing encrypted DMs with "chat" where EVERYTHING is encrypted:
