If you are still using Twitter, do not -- DO NOT -- use direct messages for anything you consider sensitive in any way. This goes triple for the journalists who insist on pouring their work into a site whose sociopath CEO has utter contempt for the press.

@dangillmor Every method of sending information should be assumed to be compromised, unless you have solid information it is likely not to be. Violating the sensitivity of info doesn't require a psychopath at the helm. In fact, it is now the norm.
@dcrocker That's certainly true as well. I only use Signal for conversations I want to be truly private, and even worry a bit about that.
@dangillmor
@dcrocker Signal isn't truly private. It requires phone numbers that your carrier controls and centralized servers that the owners can modify whenever they want.. and they did do that by adding closed-source content scanners: https://pocketnow.com/like-whatsapp-signal-just-jumped-the-shark-and-stops-caring-so-much-about-privacy/
