    Why would it even be an option to have a non-encryted chat if the app can do encrypted?

      Telegram isn’t made to be a full E2EE messenger. They have things like public channels which you can’t do with E2EE. What kind of idiots thought that Telegram was intended to be a fully E2EE messenger? People use it cause it is native and good for its purposes. It has secret chats if you need them at times. Why all the hate from the Signal CIA fanbois?

        The author makes the point that Telegram advertises itself as secure, but isn’t except a hidden out of the way option that almost nobody will use.

        The truth of the matter is Telegram has the full plaintext content of almost every message posted on that site.
