 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. However, Meta has not clarified whether the Instagram decision affects Messenger, which is still in the proc...

 Arizona sues Temu over alleged deceptive and unfair business practices

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has filed a lawsuit against Temu, the Chinese-based online shopping platform, alleging violations of the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act. The suit claims Temu engaged in unlawful data collection, privacy violations, and counterfeiting of some of Arizona’s most recognizable brands.

According to Mayes, Temu’s app poses significant privacy risks to Arizonans, including minors. She stated that the platform can allegedly infect users’ devices with malware to collect private information while evading detection. The complaint, filed in Maricopa County Superior Court, asserts that Temu lures customers with low prices but secretly collects sensitive data such as precise location, microphone and camera access, and private activity on other apps, all without consent. The lawsuit also claims the app can modify its own code after download, potentially allowing it to exploit personal data or control the device.

Temu, modeled after the Chinese app Pinduoduo, reportedly ships tens of millions of orders to the U.S. annually, with more than 80,000 China-based sellers fulfilling those orders. Mayes also cited that, as a Chinese-owned company, Temu is subject to Chinese laws that could mandate cooperation with government intelligence efforts.

Beyond privacy concerns, the lawsuit accuses Temu of deceptive and unfair business practices, including advertising products that differ from what customers receive, faking reviews, misusing consumer payment information, infringing on intellectual property belonging to Arizona brands and universities, charging for undelivered goods, running misleading referral programs, and using forced labor in violation of U.S. trade laws.

Attorney General Mayes emphasized that the goal of the lawsuit is to protect Arizona residents from deceptive practices, stop unauthorized data collection, and hold Temu accountable under state law.
