How can that be, aren't Instagram Dms end-to-end encrypted, curious on how they find these kind of messages

They make the app that stores the plaintext at each end... they don't need to decrypt your messages across the wire to read them.
Ah I understand now, thank you. So they can actually read it just not in transit but from the app, isn't that a security violation?
A what violation?
I kid. But only sorta.
All e2e encrypted apps can do this. It's the price you pay for a completely closed ecosystem that coddles you at every turn because you're too much of a little bean to know what real security is.
Edit: this isn't a dig at you, it's a dig at how google and apple treat you
