That’s not true. Signal stores all messages on device.
Encryption on Telegram only works in 1 on 1 chats and is turned off by default meaning no one use it.
It also only works in the mobile clients
Ok. Signal win one point.
so, I use the telegram crypto chat to get a credit card pin from my bank. do you want to do this with signal? =)
and in turn, this means that the FSB log collector is not connected in the third place. =)
P.S. Do you understand the absurdity of the situation? telegram is not safe enough, but for some reason it is preferred by drug dealers. The lives of these people literally depend on the messenger. and the European Union was so unable to cope with this that it arrested the developer for complicity.
Most people are technically illiterate. On top of that, most criminals are idiots (otherwise they’d have calculated risk/reward ratio rather than only looking at the reward side of things). The reason it is used by drug dealers is (1) Telegram is convenient, (2) Telegram is not moderated so they accumulate there due to “moderation selection”, (3) Law enforcement didn’t care enough to do anything about that. Now that (3) has changed and (2) is on shaky grounds, I expect a lot of them will move elsewhere.
Definitely I would do so in Signal and never Telegram. What a question
OK. Thanks for answer.
