Also they use a custom encryption protocol that had bugs that look like a backdoor. grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/113020871978942265
Comment on Founder and CEO of Telegram messaging service arrested in France
Spotlight7573@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoIsn’t the main problem that most people don’t use the E2E encrypted chat feature on Telegram, so most of what’s going on is not actually private and Telegram does have the ability to moderate but refuses to (and also refuses to cooperate)?
Something like Signal gets around this by not having the technical ability to moderate (or any substantial data to hand over).

Exactly. Telegram has a ton of public channels full of content that is illegal in most EU countries and refuses to comply with any local laws on hate speech. They know perfectly well what their platform is used for, they just don’t care. It would be a wildly different case if everything were E2E encrypted by default.
