Instagram is getting rid of end-to-end encrypted DMs that ‘very few’ people used | The Verge

A few things along this line:

Almost any online service that collects personal data, be it email address, phone number or a payment method - already has breached your privacy. Even if it is encrypted, it will fold when asked to.

At the current moment, almost no social media platforms are truly private. All of them can doxx you.

Chat is a special case, you can self host your own matrix servers, or use ephemeral accounts for maximum privacy.

So far, I've found Signal, Threema and Briar to be good - however, nothing can surpass a self hosted server that you can run at your own home with maximum encryption - both on the disk and network levels.

Own your own compute. Own your own data - if you are worried for privacy.

Apart from these, of course, practice good operation security - don't reveal information to folks if you aren't going to be comfortable with them knowing that information.

Meta already tried to push an VPN app which tried to fully monitor user traffic:

There is no point in trusting that org for anything.

Including the recent revelation of African employees watching and reviewing Meta AI glasses video captures completely.
