Telegram is NOT an "encrypted messenger." It supports end-to-end encryption ONLY if it is turned on (not by default) and ONLY for single-user chats, never for groups the way Signal, WhatsApp and iMessage do by default. I can't believe that this myth persists.https://twitter.com/wiczipedia/status/1349341628855693315 …

I think raising the security concerns the app has is critical and understand why you made the distinction. I think the problems presented by non-public vs encrypted means of comms vary. Eg if they wanted to, platforms could keep a closer eye on groups, DMs, etc. (cont.)

But that’s not possible in the encrypted environment. Telegram channels are a class of their own, clearly. Still coordination happening in the encrypted conversations ppl are having. There are also worrisome implications about Durov’s free speech absolutism, etc.
