It’s interesting that the Your Data tool only started including DMs after GDPR stuff went into effect. For many years, DMs weren’t part of the archive. When the feature was added in late 2018 or early 2019, it became clear that Twitter actually maintained an archive of all DMs, whether you had previously deleted them or not. I’m glad this was only 8 accounts — but it’s a good reminder that DMs aren’t encrypted or secure and shouldn’t be used that way.
