The fact that the French president invited Durov to dinner and then arrested him, is so strange. They want to control Telegram, the arrest is just an excuse.

Pavel did mention that investigation agencies tried to lure Telegram developers to use certain open source libraries. It's no wonder why WhatsApp and other apps don't face much heat from the government, they're already with t

Yeah, I don't doubt that it can be improved. I hope it does because Telegram is not a fringe messenger anymore. There can be improvements made to the infrastructure, so that they don't keep facing these issues again and again.

Because of the nature of the encryption, it allows more convenience compared to WhatsApp and Signal. For example, on Telegram you can (and we do) have a million people in a group without exposing their phone numbers. This has proven itself

> We do have at least some empirical evidence that WhatsApp is properly encrypted so do we. Telegram's MTProto 2.0 has been audited multiple times by independent researchers, compared to WhatsApp's closed-source claims of E2EE.

I've used this one but the lack of touchpad gestures and the window launching bugs meant that I had to move away from it.

Is this sustainable? I can imagine the 8 A100 GPU servers not being cheap. I wanna launch an app but I can't even imagine renting A100 GPUs.
