The arrest of #Telegram's founder Pavel #Durov sets a dangerous precedent for what kind of action can be taken against supporters of #privacy & #cryptography.

@Tutanota@mastodon.social though putting Telegram in the same basket as any other (real) e2e encrypted application is a mistake.
FTR, default chats aren't encrypted at all in Telegram, ppl have to take extra steps to get actual encryption. We really can't talk about "encryption" in that case.

Still - valid point, this is again "them" trying to undermine communication secrecy "for the good of children" and other consideration, accusing the tool, not the ppl.

@Daemon@social.tengu.ch We agree that Telegram is not a secure messaging app due to its lack of end-to-end encryption. We apologize if this post was unclear.
