To summarize: there is a theoretical concern about the MTProto protocol used by Telegram.
Mentioning "nation states" is laughable and it seems everybody should be reminded that not only advertisers have access to "metadata" generated by their mobile devices.
To make the life less convenient but more "secure", one could enable "secure chats", set an explicit password and don't allow access to the Contacts on iOS.
- aasasd 8y ago> Mentioning "nation states" is laughable In some countries, a “nation state“ is pretty much every local police chief and prosecutor who like their comfy and paying positions a lot, don't like having too many loud democracy advocates around, and know who to call in such cases. People tend to forget that the state is basically evolved mafia.
