I may be late... But last time (6+mo ago) I discussed this it was consensus that MTProto was not secure. Not sure if they fixed that now.
I just don't find this rhetoric very helpful. It would be one thing if you could give me a bunch of links of careful analyses describing vulns and even a handful of POCs and then said "trust the experts". But the total amount of material people link to is tiny.

For example, "Telegram is not IND-CCA" is a paper people link to a lot. But Telegram updated the protocol (https://core.telegram.org/techfaq#what-about-ind-cca …) and if the critique is still valid it needs to be refreshed.

This is the kind of rhetoric I'm finding unhelpful. 1. "not showing your work" is at minimum deeply misleading. The protocol is well-enough documented that you can build third party clients. 2. "you don't make your own crypto" is also not saying anything.pic.twitter.com/0s2dewfF1J

I'm not saying the criticism is wrong. I'm saying that when people say "trust the experts on climate change" there's a million papers you can point to with detailed analysis. That's not true here, just repetition of the same rhetoric over and over.

Now I'm repeating myself :) I want to be clear: I have no idea if there's a problem here. I'm just asking for more information beyond the basic argument I've seen repeated over and over again.
