 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.

 Trump labels Colombia’s Petro an ‘illegal drug dealer’ and ends US aid to the country

President Donald Trump announced Sunday that the United States will halt all funding and subsidies to Colombia, accusing the country’s leader of failing to curb drug production. Speaking from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, Trump called Colombian President Gustavo Petro “an illegal drug dealer” and “low-rated and very unpopular,” warning that if Petro did not stop drug operations, the U.S. would intervene directly. Trump criticized Petro for allegedly encouraging the production of drugs across Colombia, claiming U.S. payments and subsidies were being misused.

Trump said on social media that “as of today, these payments, or any other form of payment, or subsidies, will no longer be made to Colombia.” The announcement comes amid rising tensions between Washington and Bogotá, following a series of U.S. strikes in Caribbean waters targeting alleged drug traffickers, which Petro condemned as violations of Colombian sovereignty. Petro accused the U.S. of killing an innocent fisherman, Alejandro Carranza, during a September strike and demanded legal accountability.

The ongoing dispute also follows the U.S. revoking Petro’s visa during his recent trip to the United Nations, citing his call for American soldiers to disobey Trump’s orders. Colombian authorities confirmed that one of the latest strike victims was hospitalized after being repatriated, while Ecuadorian officials reported that their citizen, also repatriated, had not committed any crimes. The conflict highlights escalating tensions over drug enforcement, U.S.-Colombia relations, and military operations in the region.
