Don't trust it yet: Musk warns against secure messaging on Twitter

Twitter launched encrypted messaging Wednesday, offering select users the ability to communicate more securely. But its new service is much more of a baby step than a giant leap forward. For starters, it lacks basic protections that security experts consider essential for shielding messages from hackers and other prying eyes. Senders and receivers must also be subscribed to Twitter's Blue service for $11 a month ($8 for desktop-only) or otherwise affiliated with an organisation verified by Twitter for $1,000 a month plus $50 per user. The company's official message announcing the rollout promised additional features soon. But CEO Elon Musk offered his own caution via a tweet: Try it, but don't trust it yet. WHAT IS ENCRYPTED MESSAGING AGAIN? Ordinary messages sent across the internet, whether by email, direct message, Twitter or other means are generally vulnerable to interception that could allow other people or organisations to read them. That includes the companies offering the

Elon Musk threatens to reassign NPR's Twitter account to another firm

Elon Musk threatened to reassign NPR's Twitter account to another company, according to the non-profit news organization, in an ongoing spat between Musk and media groups since his USD 44 billion acquisition of Twitter last year. So is NPR going to start posting on Twitter again, or should we reassign @NPR to another company? Musk wrote in one email late Tuesday to NPR reporter Bobby Allyn. NPR stopped tweeting from its main account after Twitter abruptly labelled NPR's main account as state-affiliated media last month, a term that's also been used to identify outlets controlled or heavily influenced by authoritarian governments. Twitter then changed the label to government-funded media. NPR said that both labels were inaccurate and undermined its credibility noting the nonprofit news company operates independently of the U.S. government. Federal funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting accounts for less than 1% of NPR's annual operating budget, the company said. The
