Damn it's a really good thing that Telegram sucks so bad and that groups never had access to end-to-end-encryption.
Will make these people easier to identify.
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.
Apart from the encryption, how exactly does it suck?
The terrorists and child pornographers tend to stink the place up pretty bad.
"Terrorists" is such an interesting word.
As in - invading Iraq wasn't terrorist apparently. 15 years ago from the news it seemed to have produced a backlog of war crimes to be investigated for like half a century (maybe exaggerating), but in fact the investigations stopped as soon as public attention got saturated.
I've heard the Artsakh Defense Army being called "bandits" and "terrorists", and they are all my brothers (if they want that).
Still, to those "terrorist" bros who really use it I'd advise to move asap to something which is not snake oil. Again, Signal, or DeltaChat, or whatever else they find, just should do some research.
