    These small factions of complete assholes put a stain on encryption technologies that governments like to point out. I still think that everyone should have easy access to high quality encryption. While it can be enabling for groups like this, the nanny state alternative we continue to move towards is ultimately worse.

      Those group channels do NOT have encryption, telegram misleading users is an absolute stain. All this is stored in plain text on Telegram’s servers.

        It’s not plain text. It should be encrypted using keys stored on server. Still not end-to-end.

          Everything which exists ephemerally on the server, but could as well not exist, that you can’t verify, should be considered non-existent.
