> There simply isn't any encryption besides SSL for all the rest, which at one point they were boasting is the cause for their generally excellent performance (no distribution of keys etc). They didn't change that unless they ware uncharacteristically quiet about such a major new feature. It would run counter to their motivation for not doing it in that earlier blogpost. It also doesn't make sense to then have MTproto in parallel especially since they apparently solved key exchange and so on. At this point you are just willfully throwing around misinformation. A number of commenters have tried to point you directly to the docs to which you've just said, "it's wrong". > talking about MTproto, which is only used for their e2e chats. This is also misinformation. [1] Please stop. I only flag as an absolute last resort here on HN but you are actively harming discourse at this point.
