      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."

          @Jadwong There is an App called #Telegram that apparently is "superior" to WhatsApp. Allows you to share documents, more users per group etc

          @Snowden great clarification. funny how our intuitions about ownership are grounded in location, not access.

          @jacklaidlaw1987 hashing is an irreversible operation. The issue there is that msgs are decipherable by Telegram @Snowden

          @TouitTouit @Snowden if you hash password and ecrypt messages using password as key it would be fine.
