#Telegram and #Durov are once again in the media, so I translated my May piece about the service to English:
Telegram is neither "secure" nor "encrypted"
https://rys.io/en/171.html
Calling Telegram "secure" or "encrypted" is misleading, and is journalistic malpractice.
Telegram itself seems to mislead about it on purpose.
Telegram's encryption protocol is suspicious and transmits cleartext device identifiers with every message.
They have been called out for it many times, and refuse to change.
Telegram is neither "secure" nor "encrypted"
