I read something yesterday about the Russian military uses Telegram almost exclusively, and Russia says the French arrested him to get the decryption keys.
What decryption keys even, group chats cannot be encrypted and private chats are unencrypted by default and even encrypted chats shouldn’t have the encryption key stored on any servers unless there is a backdoor.
Telegram encryption is not E2EE
Telegram does have E2EE chats (called Secret Chats), though they are only one-on-one, not enabled by default and their encryption is dubious.
They don’t. Telegram has keys. Also theres a ton of evidence of backdoors.
Patiently waiting for citation…
He’s an asset of the kremlin. His status as a ‘dissident’ of Russia is a lie. Just look how up in a fit the Russian propagandists and Kremlin are about him getting arrested, plus how it’s one of or the only messaging services allowed in Russia. 🤔
