      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 …

      One consequence of the forced and self-deplatforming we're seeing is a mass exodus to encrypted messengers like Telegram. So far the US has mostly managed to avoid the widespread challenges that countries like Brazil, India, and Ukraine have faced in this vein. No longer.

      100%- was using this more as a broad strokes description to refer to trends broadly on these apps (WhatsApp disinfo in Brazil and India etc)

      Telegram keeps being referred to as an "encrypted messenger" when it is anything but, so that's why I objected. I'm guessing you mean non-public? That's a totally different concept. That said, Facebook groups are already non-public. Shift away from Twitter is something else.

          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.

          Thanks for this thread. Waiting for the proper explainer. Pertinent to our research on social media analytics.
