I call on Meta to immediately implement end-to-end encryption for messaging on Instagram by default, just like it did for Facebook Messenger. As communities around the world come under attack by fascist leaders like Trump, privacy and security on social media apps can’t be “optional”—they are life-saving necessities. No one should have side-door access to our private messages. Companies have the responsibility to integrate safety features that are as robust as possible by default, instead of forcing users to go the extra step of “opting into” these features.
