 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.

POLICE FIRE ON PROTESTERS AS PART OF KENYA'S PARLIAMENT IS SET ABLAZE.(PHOTO)


 Police fire on protesters as part of Kenya’s parliament is set ablaze


Police opened fire on demonstrators trying to storm Kenya's legislature on Tuesday, with at least ten protesters killed, dozens wounded and part of Kenya’s parliament building was set ablaze, in the most direct assault on the government in decades. 


The protesters, many of them youth, outmaneuvered police to enter parliament shortly after legislators voted to pass the bill. Lawmakers fled through a tunnel, but protesters allowed opposition legislators who voted against the bill to walk out of the besieged building.


The office of the Nairobi governor, a member of the ruling party, was also briefly on fire. The office is located near parliament. Police water cannons were used to extinguish the fire.


The Kenya Human Rights Commission shared a video of officers shooting at protesters and said they would be held to account.


Tuesday’s protests appeared to be spreading. Protesters burned ruling party offices in Embu in central Kenya.
