I think the problem here is there's no prior consent. If you've DM'd someone in the past, they can now call you. Twitter never had video call before, and the people who use it never expected to be giving consent for a video call maybe even several years later.
Why did we go from the more descriptive "private message (PM) to direct (DM)like why replace it? Anyone know?
Because of the implication it's not actually private, since admins can see it and/or it's used for analytics.
It's still private for the purposes that other users can't see it.
Yeah, however the term is disingenuous.
