Twitter itself, because now it doesn't have to scan and moderate DMs for CSAM and other illegal activity. Implementing E2E encryption is a part of why they can run a skeleton crew moderation team. Users don't benefit from this change. In fact, more people will be harmed by Twitter's product with its inclusion.
