Summary
Bluesky, a social network, has integrated Germ’s end-to-end encrypted messenger into its app, offering users private messaging capabilities. The integration allows Bluesky users to send and receive encrypted messages directly within the app. According to the announcement, this move is aimed at enhancing user privacy and security. The integration is now live, and users can access the feature within the Bluesky app.
Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
Bluesky integrates Germ’s E2E encrypted messenger, because apparently, we needed another private messaging feature. Germ’s messenger is now native to Bluesky’s app, because who needs a separate app for secure messaging? This move is all about user privacy, or so they claim. Because what could possibly go wrong with integrating a new messaging feature into a social network? Bluesky just rebranded private messaging as “innovation”.
