Discord finally rolls out end-to-end encryption by default for all voice and video calls

I dunno, I’m not Meta. Actual reporting says:
> “Very few people were opting in to end-to-end encrypted messaging in DMs, so we’re removing this option from Instagram in the coming months. Anyone who wants to keep messaging with end-to-end encryption can easily do that on WhatsApp.”
… which would actually make sense. Encryption in Instagram was opt-in. The amount of people who simultaneously use Instagram and also care about their messages being private are probably not many, so it literally cost more to maintain for no reason
Regardless though, it wouldn’t disprove my claim. Instagram discontinuing E2EE is an exception to the rule, so far, as there’s E2EE in a bunch of apps from companies who you don’t expect it from
