Twitter direct messages are famously not end-to-end encrypted (unlike almost every other provider at this point) and are almost certain to be absolutely loaded

Twitter direct messages are famously not end-to-end encrypted (unlike almost every other provider at this point) and are almost certain to be absolutely loaded with juicy political and criminal intrigue. Furthermore, many Twitter accounts are pseudonymous or anonymous and disclosure of the true identity of the account owner could be scandalous or even physically hazardous. And, assuming the identity of a famous person on Twitter would also be a powerful tool. Many B2C / consumer-oriented companies have this "who cares" attitude and it is very toxic to the industry as a whole when it comes to security.
