He’s an asset of the kremlin. His status as a ‘dissident’ of Russia is a lie. Just look how up in a fit the Russian propagandists and Kremlin are about him getting arrested, plus how it’s one of or the only messaging services allowed in Russia. 🤔
I read something yesterday about the Russian military uses Telegram almost exclusively, and Russia says the French arrested him to get the decryption keys.
What decryption keys even, group chats cannot be encrypted and private chats are unencrypted by default and even encrypted chats shouldn’t have the encryption key stored on any servers unless there is a backdoor.
Telegram encryption is not E2EE
Telegram does have E2EE chats (called Secret Chats), though they are only one-on-one, not enabled by default and their encryption is dubious.
They don’t. Telegram has keys. Also theres a ton of evidence of backdoors.
Patiently waiting for citation…
For what, exactly? I thought this was common knowledge.
You made the claim, I did a quick search
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=telegram+backdoors&t=fpas&ia=web
Nothing popped up obvious.
Can you post a source about either of those claims? I’ve found nothing to support either of them.
Oh you mean server-side encryption? I’m fairly certain that Telegram is already handing out these keys anyway, since every country has laws regarding that. Server-side encryption is worth jack shit
Yes, well the rumor is that the French want them.
It’s not even encrypted except for encryption at rest. What are you talking about?
Soo is telegram safe? Anyone have alternatives to telegram that has easy to use bots? I use it for all my arr services and home assistant.
As someone who has never used telegram and uses the arr stack and home assistant, what do these bots do?
I use the HA one to send images from frigate as sort of a “backup” of alerts in case my house is robbed and I lose access to my server. For arr I have it send me and my family alerts when new episodes and movies are added to my Emby server. I run two bots.
I also used to use Telegram for these, but have recently switched to ntfy.sh Would highly recommend.
Ok that’s cool. How do you get arr to do the alerts?

You will need to create a bot first in telegram. There are many guides on it. Just follow the guide to create a bot and add yourself then add the bot to arr.
Thanks for responding. This is why open source is great. You can use telegram or ntfy or gotify (in my case) to do the same thing and choose whatever works best for you.
Telegram was never safe because it’s not encrypted. Use something encrypted and open-source, so you don’t need to rely on their promises and service.
Signal is the most popular alternative. Others are Threema, Matrix, Session.
