 Meta to end end-to-end encryption for Instagram direct messages Meta is ending end-to-end encryption for Instagram direct messages, a feature the company says will no longer be available after May 8, 2026. Unlike WhatsApp, Instagram never offered encryption to all users or as a default; only select users in certain regions could opt in on a per-chat basis. A Meta spokesperson explained that the decision comes due to low adoption. “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,” the spokesperson said. “Anyone who wants to keep messaging with end-to-end encryption can easily do that on WhatsApp.” Meta’s messaging strategy has shifted multiple times over the years. WhatsApp chats have been encrypted since 2016, and the company began rolling out default encryption for Messenger in 2023.

 Leave vegetable sellers, petty traders alone, Gov Nwifuru warns tax collectors


Gov. Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi has warned revenue officers in the state against collecting taxes from vegetable sellers and other petty traders.

This is contained in a statement issued by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Mr Monday Uzor, in Abakaliki on Wednesday.

The governor gave the warning during the swearing-in of members of the Revenue Appeal Commission in the state.

Nwifuru described the collection of taxes from vegetable sellers as inhuman and urged them to avoid such acts.

He said there was no reason to collect tax from people selling their farm produce in the local markets.

“I want you to go for big big business owners.

“I have told the Revenue Service, I don’t want you to go to the Village markets and be collecting tax from vegetable sellers, I have said it times without number.

“I don’t see reasons we should be taxing people who are selling what they got from their farms,” he advised.

Nwifuru urged Mr Augustine Nwankwegu, Chairman of the Revenue Service and Appeal Commission and its members to go about their duties with a human face to improve the Internally Generated Revenue of the state and not step on the toes of the people.

“I don’t want shouting, I don’t want closing people’s shops, you have to look at the people’s shops and tax them based on what they have, everything is all about negotiations,” he said.

Nwankwegu, who spoke on behalf of the appointees, thanked the governor and assured him that the revenue service would work hard to improve the revenue of the state as well as improve the ease of doing business in the state.
