This may also mean that Facebook is complying with the Russian government demands for at-will access to WhatsApp and Messenger content.
- csydas 9y agoI think a much simpler and more elegant answer is "they didn't think of that, they just want to block Telegram." As someone in Russia, the block pretty much only hinders use of the legitimate services, not of Telegram. Numerous services exist to allow it to continue, and the block is a hack-job to try to prove a point.

- donkeyd 9y agoIt's decrypted on my phone in their app. Theoretically, what stops them from connecting to my phone and reading the decrypted content from there?
- netzone 9y agoWasn't it WhatsApp that sent a key back to Facebook servers? Technically it's end-to-end encrypted, but Facebook could decrypt it if they really wanted to.
