Why would someone who has stood up to the Russian government multiple times, had a company taken away from him already for not being compliant and is now living in exile hand control of Telegram to that same government?
- brazzledazzle 9y agoThat's the cover story you see.
- jsjsjsjsjsjs 9y agoWhy would such someone would wave flag of security making it the biggest selling point and then go with questionable practices?
- nikcub 9y agoTelegram being secure or not is a separate question. Secure messaging is hard, most people when producing secure messaging will produce poor secure messaging - it doesn't mean they've been compromised by a government.
- admax88q 9y agoYes but Telegram continues to avoid fixing flaws that have been pointed out by cryptographers. It's one thing to get some security wrong because its "hard." It's another to not fix those problems when people explain how and why you did something wrong.
- Dolores12 9y agoI guess they will fix those theoretical flaws when someone make real exploit? RSA encryption is theoretically breakable by quantum computers, but people still use it and gonna be using it until someone break it.
- wu-ikkyu 9y agoWhy are you assuming that Pavel is the only possible exploit that could be used to own Telegram?
- nikcub 9y agobecause that is what they're implying when they say "controlled" by the kremlin
