 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.

 French Court Sentences Director Christophe Ruggia for Assaulting Actress Adèle Haenel


A French court has found film director Christophe Ruggia guilty of sexually assaulting actress Adèle Haenel between the ages of 12 and 15 in the early 2000s.


Ruggia, 60, was sentenced to two years under house arrest with an electronic bracelet and an additional two-year suspended sentence in what is considered a landmark #MeToo trial in France.


The court determined that Ruggia exploited his position of power over Haenel, subjecting her to frequent inappropriate behavior during meetings at his home over three years, isolating her from her support network.


Despite his denial of any wrongdoing, Haenel, now 35, was the first major French actor to publicly accuse the film industry of enabling sexual abuse after the rise of the #MeToo movement.


She initially came forward in 2019, alleging that Ruggia repeatedly touched her inappropriately during and after filming Les Diables (The Devils).


As the verdict was read, Haenel appeared relieved, while women’s rights activists applauded her outside the courtroom.
