    Edward Snowden Retweeted Thomas H. Ptacek

    I respect @durov, but Ptacek is right: @telegram's defaults are dangerous. Without a major update, it's unsafe.https://twitter.com/tqbf/status/678065993587945472 …

    Edward Snowden added,

    Thomas H. Ptacek @tqbf
    By default Telegram stores the PLAINTEXT of EVERY MESSAGE every user has ever sent or received on THEIR SERVER.

        To be clear, what matters is that the plaintext of messages is *accessible* to the server (or service provider), not whether it's "stored."

        @mjackson @Snowden @tqbf This is exactly why cloud chats are the default: on average, our users prefer seamless cloud sync.

        @tqbf This is false: @telegram never stores plaintext of messages, and deleted messages are erased forever. Do you get paid for posting BS?

        @taecano @Snowden You cannot tell if what he's saying is a lie or not. Without end-to-end encryption, you can't be sure. Period.
