Instagram is about to lose its optional end-to-end encryption feature. Without it, Meta can view every DM on Instagram. Mozilla has a petition to push the company to reverse this decision. [external petition link] https://www.mozillafoundation.org/en/petitions/keep-encryption-for-instagram/

Tell Meta: Keep Encryption for Instagram Messages

Meta has quietly said it will end support for encrypted messaging on Instagram in a matter of weeks. Encryption helps ensure that what your messages stay between you and the person with whom you're communicating. When end-to-end encryption is enabled, no one – not even Meta – can snoop on you. Right now, hundreds of millions of people use Instagram to message friends, family, and communities. Privacy should be a default feature of the technology we rely on every day – not an optional extra, and not something that quietly disappears. That's why we're asking Meta to reverse its decision and continue to support encryption on Instagram.
