#telegram now #leaking #information to the #authorities in #germany - so much for #encryption ! https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/15.. Good job I switched to #jabber and #xmpp for my more #secure #sensitive stuff!
Very cool #article on how #telegram created a #backdoor for their own #crypto #algorithm https://words.filippo.io/dispatches/tele.. Their #server could #secretly #read all #encrypted #communications without being detected! Damn!
Very interesting to see which #messenger #apps the #fbi can #access or not: https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2.. Some of these #services come out pretty well, such as #signal and #telegram ...
Interesting approach by #telegram to #request #developers #display #ads if they want to continue using their #api - to allow them to provide the #service for #free https://corefork.telegram.org/api/sponso.. Not sure how I feel about it to be honest, I will be watching this approach with some interest!
At least #zulip will not create a #crypto shit #coin https://blog.zulip.com/2021/11/12/why-no.. It's really concerning how many #companies / #platforms are getting involved with the #blockchain - including #facebook , #telegram , #signal , #twitter and #reddit ... Probably the biggest reason not to #implement it is the fact that #chat and #socialmedia do not need this.
Awesome, tonnes of people #flocked to #telegram when #facebook was down - 70 #million people in fact! https://www.reuters.com/technology/teleg.. That's a *massive* #user #migration !
Hmm, seems like #telegram is not nearly as #secure as they make out: https://www.cyberscoop.com/telegram-app-.. Still, at least there are no glaring holes discovered. This is again why you should be so careful when rolling your own #crypto ...
Interesting to see #xmpp making a come back with #dino https://politictech.wordpress.com/2021/0.. Might be worth giving it a shot if it's a good #messaging #app - especially compared to the likes of #telegram or #signal whom play crazy games with source code, etc.
