     Telegram is not secure

     there is no end-to-end encryption like Signal

     it's only a question of the route from the glaring design hole to the FSB fishing for info. easy and obvious backdoors it can impose on Telegram to implement

     and deliver data the FSB finds sensitive and interesting, according to whatever paraments it dictates, wrapped in a bow

     any state actor can technically or organizationally compromise Telegram this way

     @benroyce @Paul_stilgar @rogue_corq
     The main question is whether FSB has a 'backdoor' to Telegram, i.e. access to encryption keys to monitor users' communication - as many people allege.

     i mean paul stilgar is right, this can classify him as an fsb agent, but loosely, in the sense that his efforts in the west advance the agenda of the fsb

     not like he's collecting a check from the kremlin for his work, like a maria butina

     @svenvabar @Paul_stilgar @rogue_corq

     i doubt he is an outright fsb agent

     durov is like any other russian oligarch in the west:

     the fsb has leverage on him, they keep tabs on him, they make demands of his behavior and moneyed influence, and thus they use him in the west for mischief

     if he disobeys they threaten his family or any other soft point

     and if he gets too off the leash it's novichok on the door handle and polonium tea in the shop as a warning to other oligarchs to stay in line

     Yes, that sounds more plausible.

     first, Durov is an FSB agent. Telegram continues to operate so that the FSB can continue to monitor/manipulate #ruzzians (and others in peace).

     second, what does freedom of speech have to do with selling weapons, human trafficking, or drug sales. Imagine any newspapers that do the same thing.

     third, for people who keep shouting ´pedophiles’ , they still hang out with a lot of these pedophiles.
