What is the difference between telegram and cell phone providers other than encryption in relation to these charges?
- BadHumans 2y agoYour cell phone provider will cooperate with the authorities immediately and without question.

- marcinzm 2y agoTelegram not being fully encrypted and seeing the content of most messages on its servers but not cooperating with the police?
- itohihiyt 2y agoThe cell phone providers aren't likely refusing to cooperate with the authorities in whose jurisdiction they operate.
- jsheard 2y agoCell phones are encrypted over the air, but they aren't end to end encrypted, and it's safe to assume that a provider will wiretap the plaintext passing through their backend if the authorities ask for it.
- mpeg 2y agoTelegram is not end-to-end encrypted in the way other messaging services are (whatsapp, signal), it is encrypted but Telegram holds the keys and are able to decrypt any messages not sent on a "secret chat" which is not the default, or any messages on a group chat
- RandomThoughts3 2y agoThe article is very poor mixing the actual charges with unrelated European Union concerns. The charges are not linked to encryption. Most of Telegram is unencrypted anyway. The issue is with Telegram non cooperation and lack of moderation of publicly available content.
