Oh goodness, Instagram secret conversations! What if they’re not as secret as they say? My little one is just starting to poke around on the tablet, and I’m already picturing all sorts of things they could stumble upon, or worse, what if someone tries to talk to them in one of these “secret” chats? Are they truly encrypted? Like, really, truly? What if Instagram itself has a backdoor? Or what if someone hacks into an account, even with all the “secret” stuff, and then all those conversations are just out there? I need to know! How can I even begin to understand if my child would be safe? I don’t know the first thing about encryption or vulnerabilities, but what if there’s a loophole? A tiny little crack that someone could exploit? It just makes me so anxious! I wish I knew if there was a way to really verify how private these things are.
