i like how durov in the interview repeats that people are smart and that's why they switch to telegram for privacy

when in fact it is the polar opposite: people are stupid enough to believe that the only popular messenger without e2ee is somehow "private"

your tg messages are stored on the servers in plain text

Couldn't agree more... it's crazy that so many people I talk to in crypto think Telegram is private & encrypted

They launched with E2E encryption but ended up rolling it back for product functionality. Tale as old as time

Here's Durov's take:

cto @ bwl.gg, 100M+ users (bdut.ch) 🙏 $eggs is life

funny that all the issues of competitors are gone now, but tg is still not e2ee

Here's Durov's take: https://telegra.ph/Why-Isnt-Telegram-End-to-End-Encrypted-by-Default-08-14

CEO at Google • co-founder & rectangle mover at /icebreaker • icbk.me/j4ck.fc • /j4ck • /swagcaster • DJ sixsix

we already moved to imessage and rcs + meta messenger

so when are we collectively moving to signal?

should be better now that they’ve added handles 

the telegram ux is just so smoooooth tho 😣

also interesting that they are in UAE, a country that absolutely doesn't respect free speach
