sorry, I don't want to change my definition of "encrypted" to satisfy some people on the internet. Even if it's for a good cause
- jaclaz 5y agoMay I ask what is your definition of "encrypted"?
- tryauuum 5y agomy definition of encrypted is: something that is not in clear text and can be transformed to clear text with knowledge of algorithm and secret key. I would call telegram "encrypted messenger" because its network traffic is encrypted -- I cannot understand what's inside of it, but anyone with the knowledge of the algorithm and the key can.

- tryauuum 5y agoI've never used Facebook, so I don't know. If it's about sending messages via facebook website, I would call it an encrypted way of communication. Because https traffic is encrypted. I've posted my definition of "encrypted" because someone asked, check the whole thread if you are interested
