Elon Musk, Twitter’s new CEO, has outlined his plans to employees, to bring encrypted DMs to the microblogging platform, as per a report. The firm’s new owner is also reportedly planning on adding encrypted voice and video calling for Twitter users. In 2018, Twitter warned that an undisclosed number of DMs between businesses and their customers had been accessible by outsiders for over a year.
