I doubt this is news to most folks on the Fediverse, but don’t trust Twitter, Facebook, or any company whose business model is advertising to secure your private conversations.
Even if they aren’t up to no good today, it is only a matter of time until they come for your messages.
You're saying this on a platform that has no business model for making money and basically has no security or privacy because you're trusting whichever random people run the instances.
And I treat this platform accordingly. There is no expectation of privacy here. You are a private as you choose to be.
