EU warns Musk that Twitter faces ban over content moderation -FT
At the moment, if you private message a user on another website, those messages can be seen by the other website's admins. Just like if I (a Gmail user) emailed a Yahoo user, Yahoo would be able to read those emails -- you run into the same problem you've described. It looks like this was brought up a few years ago on an ActivityPub issue.

Mastodon Explained
Calling it dystopian is a bit harsh. Some degree of moderation is unavoidable or you end up with 4chan (actually, even 4chan had moderation, I think; it's just unavoidable).
Ultimately of course you're supposed to choose a server that you like and trust. At least here you have that choice. On Twitter or Facebook you don't.
Of course it should have had end to end encryption. It sounds like a massive omission. I found a discussion about adding that to ActivityPub[0] where someone points out that if you don't want server admins able to read messages, you can't store private keys on the server, which sounds to me like it would hurt usability. Makes you wonder how unbreakable the end-to-end encryption of other systems really is. I'm not enough of an encryption guru to say how big of a problem this really is.
