The telegram web page claims on the first page:
> Telegram messages are heavily encrypted and can self-destruct.
How is Joe Average supposed to understand that?
Adding to that, the secret chat encryption has always been Weird (capital W) and in one of the previous generations the server could actually MITM it. Trivially.
- tryauuum 4y ago> How is Joe Average supposed to understand that? That's an interesting question. I don't know. Maybe he would understand it as "messages that are hard to read for NSA". To be honest, I don't understand your criticism. Surely people can put a video on their website about E2E, about privacy, integrity and authenticity. Maybe put an honest comparison with other messengers. But I'd only expect this kind of openness from a nonprofit organization.
