 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.

 Lawyers Demand Senators Refund Salaries for Poor Performance, Dual Legislative Roles


The Association of Legislative Drafting and Advocacy Practitioners (ALDRAP) has initiated legal action to compel Nigerian senators to refund portions of their salaries and allowances collected since May 2023, citing alleged poor performance and violations of constitutional provisions.


In a pre-action notice dated May 26, 2025, addressed to Senate President Godswill Akpabio, ALDRAP demanded that the 109 senators of the 10th National Assembly refund 78% of their salaries and allowances for delivering only 12% of their statutory duties to constituents, whom the lawyers describe as dissatisfied consumers. The notice, signed by ALDRAP’s Administrative Secretary, Amuga Jesse Williams, was obtained by DAILY POST on Tuesday.


Additionally, the group is targeting 40 senators who concurrently hold membership in the Nigerian Senate and the ECOWAS or Pan-African parliaments, alleging this violates Section 68 of the 1999 Constitution, which prohibits dual legislative roles. These senators are being asked to refund all salaries and allowances received during this period.


The lawyers have approached the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal (FCCPT) under the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission Act, 2018. The pre-action notice, a procedural requirement before a tribunal summons, was copied to key officials, including President Bola Tinubu, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, the Executive Vice-Chairman of the FCCPT, the Accountant-General of the Federation, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, and the secretaries-general of the ECOWAS and Pan-African parliaments.


ALDRAP claims that records indicate the Senate has performed at just 12% capacity since May 2023. They are urging the tribunal to order the refund of 78% of the senators’ earnings to the national treasury via the Accountant-General, citing inadequate service delivery to constituents.
