    No, but the entire point of renaming Private Messages to Direct Messages was exclusively so people would have the mindset you do.

      I have never been under the impression PMs were unreadable by the people operating the service I send them on.

        Neither have I. Generally if I want the impression of it being private, it will need to be encrypted and a whole skew of other criteria comes in. Still doesn’t change the fact that growing up they were referred to as “PM’s” for the first half of my life.
