  And if they had implented that to begin with and used servers that kept no logs he wouldn’t have anything of value to hand over.

  He built the damn situation for himself, and the fact that such issues weren’t considered practically screams “honeypot.”

    they would have had to release him

    Maybe we could say he wouldn’t be in this situation because he could’ve responded to every request his company got and they could’ve provided all of the zero logs they had.

    I believe Telegram just wasn’t cooperating at all which is wild! Such a Musk thing to do.

  Anyone who used Telegram as a private communications channel in the first place is an idiot.

    Anyone who thinks they can have privacy near a computer is an idiot.

  Just keep in mind that any service that asks for a phone number can also disclose it.

  I hope what leaves the Signal client is a hash of your phone number, rather than the number itself. They might even be using salts and expensive-to-execute key derivation functions, to mitigate brute force searches (which are otherwise easy given the relatively small search space of phone numbers). But if compelled, it would be trivial for Signal to change that behavior.

  Telegram would never do that.
