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 …

On the other hand zero sympathy from me for Facebook on privacy, to be honest. They deserve the reputational damage. But let's correct the record on Telegram. For security purposes, in my opinion, it is inferior by any measure except privacy from Facebook.https://twitter.com/QulshTM/status/1349363139486355462 …

Anyway, back to your regularly-scheduled coup and pandemic for a moment, and a call to informed and competent security journalists to please write an updated explainer on all this. People are confused, and need reliable and trustworthy information.

for what it’s worth, i’ve historically seen fb lean on the generous side when disclosing what data it collects from devices, simply bc a scrutiny on the company is (rightfully) so high. telegram should probably do the same, but it knows it doesn’t have tohttps://twitter.com/swodinsky/status/1349800635152162816 …

ie, i’ve done my own independent network analysis of telegram, and can *objectively tell you* they collect metrics like crash data — even if they tell apple they don’t
