Many don't seem to understand why I object to @Telegram having unsafe, censorable public channels in an app that is promoted as a secure messenger. Some presumed I just don't understand how channels work. So let's talk about it:

Trust us not to turn over data. Trust us not to read your messages. Trust us not to close your channel. Maybe
@Durov is an angel. I hope so! But angels have fallen before. Telegram should have been working to make channels decentralized—meaning outside their control—for years.Show this thread -
We've seen some improvements, and that's not nothing. But not the revolutionary rework it needs. Telegram still seems to encourage dangerous cloud messaging instead of secret chats. Experts ask "why?" And the answer is "convenience." That's unsafe.

Governments learn slowly, but they do learn. There comes a day when it will be too late to fix these problems, and I fear it is sooner than we think.

Telegram is one of those "GoodEnoughSecurity" e.g. if you try to dodge spying at the workplaces. For heavy-duty stuff use PGP and burner accounts.

Dude they already have it on their website if you spend some time to read! "The encryption keys are stored on different data centers" Not that I'm against it since I myself do rely on syncing across multiple devices

But the problem is people who are looking for a safe secure mean of communication (journalists, human rights activists, different bloggers etc...) do pick Telegram for that reason without even realizing that only the secret chat is end to end encrypted

I never understood why Mr. Schwartz Mr. Hammond and you (Mr Snowden) would not work with the Americans. It never made sense to me! We have the G8 federal reserve and israeli intelligence to deal with!
