TL;dr of the article :

1. They keep your private key on their servers.
2. Their implementation allows for AITM attacks.
3. It's closed source.
4. There's no perfect forward secrecy.

This secret stays between you, me, and Elon.

I hope politicians use the hell out of it, so we can see what they really think when it gets (inevitably) hacked in a few weeks.

offering me end-to-end encrypted chat

No one - not even X - can access or read your messages

This key is then stored on X’s servers

So...they're just blatantly lying?

...yet? How bout just not trusting it at all?

That "yet" is the narrative hook to trick us into feeling like it will soon be trustworthy, and that our assumed suspicions refer to a temporary state of untrustworthiness. Clever girls!

How about: "You probably should trust or use X at all... ever."

Hey y'all. Reminder not to trust a platform owned and operated by a Nazi manchild.

YET?

Yet? What kind of idiot would imagine that X would or could provide actual secure communication?

Brain damaged people trust x again.

Shouldn't trust it yet.

Or ever.

XChat, has some red flags.

With a white circle and a swastika inside?

It's proprietary, how could you possibly trust it?

Why are people evening using this site anymore? It’s been severely compromised.

"xchat" sounds like one of those porn chat rooms

If you trust ANYTHING Musk has for you well then have I got a bridge to sell you.

Quick everyone, install this just so that if Pete Hegseth invites people to the next airstrikes chat group, your satirical JD Vance account will be next to the real JD Vance's account and he'll probably add you both and figure it out later.

I don't trust anything coming out of Elon's fascisthole. Deleted the app when he bought it and never looked back.

Never trust any social media sites "private" chat.

Especially not one of the big ones run by weirdo fascists. You know Elmo is going to snoop on anyone relatively famous, or that just say something he doesn't like.

In all honesty, there's zero reason to even have accounts on them

Yet? More like never.

probably??? try definitely and ever

Or ever.

I wouldnt trust X with a picture of my shoes

Or ever

Signal and encrypted email only.

"The guy who helped install Donald Trump, did a Nazi Salute at Trump's victory parade on live TV, supports authoritarians, and who has declared war on transgender people to the point you're not allowed to say "Cis" or "Cisgender" on his platform, has created an end to end encrypted chat."

All of this has the same vibes as the time Brigham Young University amended their code of conduct to allow people to come out as queer, let some students come out, and then changed the CoC back and expelled the students.

Our good friend Elon cannot be trusted? I don't believe you, this must be propaganda to discredit his good manners.

It’s like a regular encrypted chat but with peepholes and racism.

shouldn't trust it yet shouldn't trust it ever

Don't trust it at all.

Cool, and I bet it will be just as trustworthy as WhatsApp (i.e. not at all).

LOL nope. I'd use anything else. As in NO X.

It was eyerolling back when that dickhead decided to sell blue checkmarks instead of issuing them only to verified celebrities.

I do really like E2EE but why do I need it in everything?

If I want to talk to someone I would rather them message me on Signal or something that I trust more.

Probably shouldn't? How 'bout definitely shouldn't, ditto for Twitter in general. Give ATproto shit all you want but at least you can move to an independent PDS with it.

Granted ActivityPub is still ideal over ATproto, but both are better than a centralized black box.

Ah, new ways for Kegsbreath to expose his idiocy.

I trust it but there is a major misunderstanding of end to end encryption. Some implementations the platform holder does not have a key to decrypt data but it is far from a requirement. All end to end means is there's a blocker preventing the network from seeing what you send not twitter who im assuming has a copy of the key.
