TikTok Confirms it Will Not Add End-to-End Encryption to DMs

Narrative A

End-to-end encryption protects fundamental human rights by ensuring private conversations remain truly private, just as they would be in face-to-face settings. Building backdoors or weakening encryption creates catastrophic security vulnerabilities that hackers and authoritarian regimes will inevitably exploit, putting billions of users at risk. Weak encryption threatens journalists, dissidents and activists worldwide who depend on secure communications to survive.
