Why is this posted here? Telegram is not a private or secure messenger.
No such thing as a secure and private messenger exists
Not even Signal?
no idea why you’re being downvoted.
you’re entirely correct, and i don’t interpret you as defending telegram’s lack of user protections
(noticing a real uptick in reddit hivemind around lemmy lately, it’s depressing tbh)
Yea I’ve been getting nuked for my shit opinions instead of discussions. I accidentally posted in Hexbear this weekend…that was an experience.
People need their copes, such as believing that privacy isn’t hypothetically impossible
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.
States have armies of cryptographers who have broken all publicly available encryption methods and maintain a propaganda campaign to sustain the belief they haven’t.
How would these armies communicate then?
Private encryption protocol Despite the propaganda, it is possible to create without public scrutiny. All you have to do is not cheap out like they did with DES.
Did you know they use the Signal protocol? So literally the same encryption scheme?
Besides, the military isn’t smarter than 30 universities independently confirming the security.
