Elon Musk announces Twitter's encrypted messaging and upcoming features.

Twitter will introduce an end-to-end encrypted messaging service, according to a tweet by its owner, Elon Musk. The move comes in response to long-standing calls from privacy-conscious users for more secure messaging on the platform. However, the timing of the announcement could prove awkward for Musk in the UK, where the government's Online Safety Bill wants such messages to be accessible if requested by law enforcement. Messaging platforms WhatsApp and Signal have both criticised this part of the bill, saying it could undermine end-to-end encryption.
