The microblogging site Twitter on Thursday allowed users who subscribe to its Blue verification feature early access to its encrypted messaging service.
The social media platform, owned and run by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, said the service was now available to verified users who have the latest version of the app installed.
Say goodbye to prying eyes and hello to secure conversations. We're giving early access to Encrypted Direct Messages v1 to our verified users.

“As Elon Musk said, when it comes to Direct Messages, the standard should be, if someone puts a gun to our heads, we still can’t access your messages,” the company said on a blog post.
“We’re not quite there yet, but we’re working on it.”
