Without prioritising user convenience you do get the best security, mainly because you have zero users to protect
Yes, it could be better, but it's still better than whatsapp, facebook messenger and sms
(I'm a telegram user, and wouldn't be if it didn't sync across devices)
- maxerickson 11y agoWhen security is important, users are far better off not using anything than they are using something that they have misunderstood to be secure. So the share with server by default, brag about security approach is really bad, especially in the instances where the need for security is very clear. It also seems to be the case that Telegram is not making users aware enough of the importance of verifying the keys used to establish the secret chats (see the link here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9538879 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9538879 , users are sharing channel keys over the channel they are trying to establish). So there is a second level of traps that a user has to avoid to even have a chance of using Telegram securely.
