Direct Message.
I've only really seen "DM" used this way with Twitter, so I have to assume that's what Twitter calls private messages.
Dude, everyone calls them DMs, on FB, here, Reddit... in fact, I've never seen anyone call them PMs, except for me.
Direct message became ubiquitous in the wake of "slide into your DM's" as a phrase.
At least in my experience.
