No Telegram chats are end-to-end encrypted by default. And I don’t know anyone who’d use the feature regularly (it’s a hassle).

And, to be fair, it’s not really necessary for most day to day messaging.

That’s not true. Please don’t spread misinformation. That’s literally the point of this thread.

TLS encryption to telegram servers is not e2ee. That’s the point

Indeed. That’s literally what I said.

Your sentence, and punctuation, are ambiguous. When I read it I thought you were saying they were end to end encrypted. But seeing your second comment and rereading it, I can see how you meant it to be they are not end to end encrypted

It’s ambiguous only if you expect people to not use punctuation 😅.

But yeah I can see how it could be confusing. Unfortunately I don’t think there’s a mark for showing that a comma was omitted deliberately, lol.

I read it that way too. So while it’s reader-error, changing the first word to “Zero” would be a lot clearer.

I think it’s very much necessary to insist on our right to privacy. Personal chats not being encrypted should be a clear and absolute NO for anyone.

Ideally, yeah. Practically, shit like stickers or media sharing is way more important to the vast majority of people.
