Telegram was never safe because it’s not encrypted. Use something encrypted and open-source, so you don’t need to rely on their promises and service.

Signal is the most popular alternative. Others are Threema, Matrix, Session.

Isn’t the US already a surveillance country?

Good. Competition is good.

This has nothing to do with privacy either. First of all Telegram is not a private messenger. Secondly, this is a about public forums and groups called Channels. This has nothing to do with backdoors eithe. They are simply asking them to do moderation on chats they already have access too.

Telegram has full access to this data and knowingly ignores child pornography and other criminal activity. If Facebook did such a thing for years you’d be screaming right now.

Everything that’s encrypted is private and secure. There are messengers that encrypt your messages, profile, who you message, contacts, etc. Use those. If you’re particularly paranoid, read the code and build from source.

Why is this posted here? Telegram is not a private or secure messenger.

Doesn’t even mention Firefox.

I know a couple. Didn’t know there are that many. Are they marked in some way to recognize they are bots?

Obviously not just with Silicon Valley people. This is not how you do testing. Duh. Just came here to hate?

You need a history lesson and you need to learn what “Nazi” means and meant. Hearing these words from you is a disgrace to millions of people that died from a genocide and ethnic clensing.

No, you’re just inventing a problem where there is none. The existence of a country is completely and utterly unrelated to anything you’re talking about. I don’t know how else to explain it.

But this fact is completely unrelated to OP and to your response aswell.

I think you came here for one reason only. And that not to add anything useful to the discussion. Instead, you prefer to open entirely new topics to push an agenda or something.

Are you illiterate or simply stupid? How does that logic follow exactly?

Acknoledge that a country exists -> Approve actions that a country does.

???

Is this a serious question? These things are already well defined in the law. There is no conspiracy here, sorry. You need to look elsewhere.

All good ideas but what does that actually change? It’s just a signature on a paper.

This is about nukes. Reading comprehension not your thing?

Telegram is not safe for private communication as it’s not encrypted. But as a social media, it’s not actually that bad. They don’t sensor as much as other platforms and there is no algorithm that tailors content to you.
