It’s not. They have been caught steering traffic over and over again. If you say anything Elon dislikes and it starts getting attention, their algorithm will hide your posts once Elon tells it to. Elon LOVES censorship so long as he’s in control of it.
You've got zero evidence of that lol. Their algorithm is open source btw.

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.
It's not hard to implement.
Oh sweet summer child.

Software developer with 20+ years of experience here, but go on, tell me all about how it's hard

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.
I was thinking about X employees accessing the chat..

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?
Encryption is easy, safe key exchange and extension (or whatever it's called) for messages longer than the key is harder to make right. If every pair of people on the planet had a common ethereal endless source of entropy, then all they'd have to do is encrypt messages with it and provide address in that source.
OK, I should go offline for some time

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.
Because cryptography is hard, especially when you're trying to do it in a user-friendly manner, with syncing encrypted conversations between devices and whatnot. Like, it's kinda the whole reason why the classic reply to "how do I make my own encryption algorithm" is "don't".
Also, with proprietary platforms you can't make sure stuff's encrypted the way they say it is

Rules were put in place to stop trackers like that as they are massive security risks, borderline doxing.
Twitter Has Complied With Almost Every Government Request For Censorship Since Musk Took Over, Report Finds
The social media platform has not reported denying any government requests since Musk bought it, a change from its previous ownership.

See the “lol” everyone? It means he’s trying make my assertion sound ridiculous because he didn’t have a way to counter it and doesn’t want believe it. People do this on the internet so they can pretend they are winning.

Yes they comply with the laws of the countries that they operate in. That’s part of doing business in a country. They challenge any government requested censorship in court whenever they can. No one else challenges them.

So you do have evidence? Where is it?
