     @sun yes. Also even the previous one just said "private," not "secure." Telegram doesn't use e2ee except when users manually turn it on for direct messages (not group chats/channels)

     @sun I believe that line still appears under another question. I haven't checked personally but Telegram should never be assumed private.

     @sun I do remember it saying the above a few months ago, didn't check if it did get updated like that but I wouldn't be surprised

     @caekislove @sun closed source e2ee apps are still more trustworthy than non-e2ee apps depending on your threat model. Backdoored applications will generally require you to be specifically targeted whereas with a non e2ee network you're directly feeding everything you say into the dragnet

     @animeirl >closed source e2ee apps are still more trustworthy
     How on earth can you confirm if the proprietary software is even e2ee?
     
     Proprietary stuff often uses hand-rolled crypto as well, which is easily broken.
     
     You cannot ever trust proprietary malware that can and will spy on you for profit.

     Anything not opensourced is backdoored and probably the binary release of something opensource is backdoored too.
