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.

zeynep tufekciVerified account @zeynepTelegram 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 …Show this thread7 replies 5 retweets 45 likesShow this thread

It's not more context, it's a very important distinction.
