I don't know where Telegram is hosted, but whenever I fire the desktop app there is always at least a google DNS request, sometimes some additional connections to google hosts. It certainly does seem to partially rely on the USA.
- pdimitar 6y agoFair point, thank you.
- mvolfik 6y agoThe point was about where is the data hosted. The answer is that it's distributed, so you would need court orders in an insane amount of countries to get any decrypted data from telegram
- ryanlol 6y agoThis is hilariously out of touch. If the telegram team is based out of UAE, then the UAE government can easily force them to hand over data even if it’s stored on foreign servers.
