It's a pity the web doesnt have standards for security devices helping to encrypt content. Twitter or anyone else would have to go build end to end encryption.

It's a pity the web doesnt have standards for security devices helping to encrypt content. Twitter or anyone else would have to go build end to end encryption. NitroKey threw together a sample web platform api for using FIDO devices to secure content[1]. No real uptake though. This still might not help the case here, where other people also need to be able to decrypt with the public key. In general, I think the perspective is at the nose of where we are: regulation & clampdowns abound, nations-states making up endless reams of expectations & demands. Data is no longer oil: data is toxic[2].
