Sure, send DMs to third-parties, but take your personal content elsewhere. Ignore Instagram’s Messenger update-don’t let its new DMs become too sticky. You should quit using this as a standard messaging option. That’s the risk without end-to-end encryption. Facebook can read your content if it wants to-there’s only a privacy policy in its way. So why would you privately message on a marketing platform whose business model focuses on commercialising your data and behaviour? The company says it doesn’t snoop on messages, but users often report ads popping up after products have been discussed. No, it’s owned by Facebook, a company that’s no stranger to criticism for its mass collection and monetisation of its users’ data. If you think TikTok is data hungry, Instagram is no better-bar the fact it’s not owned by a Chinese company, of course. Instagram is a marketing platform above all else. This is the messaging that needs to switch from Instagram to a private, secure alternative. Instagram users are as likely to contact friends over that platform as Messenger or WhatsApp or other competing options. They forward posts to friends or a group, this starts a thread and the discussion meanders where it may.
And, just like Twitter, some messaging is tightly integrated with how we use those platforms.īut Instagram users also message their regular friends and contacts as a matter of convenience. None of that can switch to another messenger-users often don’t have contact details for many of those they might like to contact. The reality is that Instagram users will always send posts to one another, as well as contact brands, respond to influencers, comment privately on posts, even ask for advice.
