  Trying to get my peers to care about their own privacy is exhausting. I wish their choices don’t effect me, but like this article states… They do in the long run.

  I will remain stubborn and only compromise rather than give in.

  It looks like telegram under the U.S SCA and FISA acts may be gagged from disclosing government surveillance as well in their privacy policy or terms of service.

  However, their privacy policy on secret chats say this.

  Secret chats use end-to-end encryption. This means that all data is encrypted with a key that only you and the recipient know. There is no way for us or anybody else without direct access to your device to learn what content is being sent in those messages. We do not store your secret chats on our servers. We also do not keep any logs for messages in secret chats, so after a short period of time we no longer know who or when you messaged via secret chats. For the same reasons secret chats are not available in the cloud — you can only access those messages from the device they were sent to or from.

  This would be a lie if government agencies had backdoor access to your EE2E messages. And would potentially line themselves up to a lawsuit? However I am not a lawyer and don’t know if there are other laws that overwrite this.

  I thought secret chats were E2EE and weren’t stored on servers. That doesn’t necessarily mean Grok can’t read them if it’s not server side, but that’s what I’m curious about.

  Saving this article for the next time someone says “Just message me on discord its easier”.

  The real challenge is getting loved ones to care enough to use a FREE encrypted communication app.

  Its like they see privacy as an anti-feature and would rather leave the door wide open for anyone to come rummage through their messages.
