Meta just removed end-to-end encryption from Instagram.
Post
@Tutanota Curiously, gmail sort of supports end to end encryption (excluding subject lines). The steps to enable it are:
(1) Install gpg if you haven't already.
(2) Install an email client that supports GPG/PGP and IMAP
(3) Use IMAP to connect to gmail
and the really, really hard part:
(4) get your contacts to use GPG as well.
@Tutanota Only a dead billionaire is a good billionaire.
@Tutanota What The Fuck!
@Tutanota uneducated & illiterate people in suit & boot ☹️
@Tutanota I don’t understand why anybody uses anything Meta, YouTube, Twitter, Blue sky. It’s a mystery.
@Tutanota biggest suprise of this is that Instagagram had e2e encryption at all
@Tutanota enshitification continues apace
@Tutanota welp I already deleted the app
@Tutanota Insta had E2EE?!
@Tutanota glad that my devices never came and newer will come through to insta, or tiktok, or facebook...or any other deeply bad internet actor Thanks to network wide pi-hole.
NextDNS is a great solution for those not want to selfhost DNS on dedicated hardware
@Tutanota don't need to keep lying, mask off!
@Tutanota And ppl will still use it, what a blinded sheep's ppl can be
