Chats, including group chats, are encrypted, just not end-to-end.
This works the same way as gmail and internet banking, and it means you have to trust Google, your bank or Telegram.
Pretending it is wide open to anyone ("aren't encrypted") is misleading.
- ryanlol 9y agoThat's not what anybody means when speaking about encrypted messaging. Referring to client-server encryption as encrypted messaging is misleading. AIM, Facebook chat and Windows Live Messenger are all encrypted messengers by that definition.

I can partly agree with you on that. But the way you phrase it, people who don't know better might easily be misled to think it is readable by anyone in between. There are a few options between cleartext over telnet and the latest in crypto.
