Elon Musk’s X manually reviewing users’ direct messages? What he said

Elon Musk-owned X is manually reviewing certain users’ direct messages (DMs) as the social media platform investigates reported violations and misuse of its service. This is also being done “to comply with laws or governmental requests”, the company said in a policy update which was pointed out by a user on X. The new update goes against the policy of providing end-to-end encryption to every content on the platform.

When questions were raised on the changes, tech billionaire Elon Musk did not offer a clear answer to the query and said, “It currently works in a clunky way for one to one messages (if you turn it on). We’re working on making it easy to use and apply to group messages too.”
