Private Messages were changed to Direct Messages so that companies wouldn't be sued out the arse for lying. Your messages are just another thing those companies now check in order to advertise to you. Far from private.

Other sites have started calling them direct messages as well. Or users are just calling them that.

Yes.

I still remember my first experience on the Internet was before the World Wide Web was really a significant thing, using Telnet to dial up a local BBS. Right around the time most PotDers were still busy being born.
