This is a case of the pot calling the kettle back, to be honest. Telegram controls encryption keys centrally as well. If you want true end to end encrypted messaging then Signal is the way to go.
FWIW, I don’t understand the trend in open source projects to use Telegram for messaging given its closed source / proprietary origins.
- ohadron 7y agoI guess it’s a matter of appearance and brand name, in addition to a really straightforward, capable and well documented API.

- hestefisk 7y agoSee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telegram_(software) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telegram_(software) “Telegram's security model has received notable criticism by cryptography experts. They criticized the general security model of permanently storing all contacts, messages and media together with their decryption keys on its servers by default and by not enabling end-to-end encryption for messages by default.”
