Red pill me on Telegram app

How secure is it? There are rumors that Russian special services (FSB or ex-KGB) are super mad that they can't get the keys to decrypt the messages and consider this to be a terrorist messenger and even tried to sue the creator of Telegram.

I heard that signal is compromised by CIA

>Messaging application on a phone

Bump

Interested in any secure messaging apps for Android.

>buy a burner phone
>telegram can be run on any OS including linux

>posts regularly on a public image board
>insists upon using encrypted messenger program

Do you kids do this for attention or what? Do you actually have illegal things to hide?

Use it for the awesome bot support and for nothing else.

It's not rumors. They tried to block

hello cia nigger.

Source ?

Hello fbi nigger. I was here first, stand down.

*gasses you with novichok*

Oh, I get it. You're paranoid about something bad happening to you for having the """wrong opinions""", so you spend your entire life playing dystopian fantasy in your mother's basement, meanwhile, the statistical odds of you suffering cardiac arrest are significantly higher, yet you still eat like shit and spend 16 hours a day wasting away in chair.

I wonder if you people were born mentally ill or if your lifestyles led to it.

>calls someone mentally ill
>types out over 9000 letters of his shit thinking that someone will take him seriously
user, I...

>reads my post
>gets triggered and replies

Whoops. Thanks for the confirmation.

>my dad works at Nintendo, the post
Signal has been subpoena'd for user information before, they store no metadata
>inverse.com/article/21915-signal-messaging-app
>Open Whisper Systems did provide the date the account was created, and the day that the user last connected to a Signal server. But what the government wanted was metadata — e.g., records of who the user contacted, when, how long a call lasted, and where a call took place — but the Signal app doesn’t collect that info. Open Whisper Systems could not be compelled to turn over what it didn’t have.

t. attention seeking whore

t. triggered snowflake

>t. i am so edgy
enjoy your ban

still hoping matrix takes off. walled gardens are a step back, let them die.

but what's the point of signal if say device is compromised or if iFag or Druid has hardware that's recording everything?
>open whisper systems could not be compelled to turn over what it didn't have
CIA didn't have enough power/money to get their data? Really?

I like the stickers :)

>What's the point in fighting if I can just give up

>mooom! he hurt my feefees by posting the truth! ban him!

Pro-censorship too, that's wild. I suppose you wouldn't need encryption to protect free speech then, huh? I'm super interested to know what kind of secret illegal activities this NEET needs to protect. Guy in town just got busted for CP- life in prison, used signal. Have fun :^)

Trust me goys, I made signal super secure. Your privacy is in good hands *rubbing intensifies*

It's FOSS, trust the code, not him

newfag Sup Forums that doesn't lurk enough shitting up the board again

One thing i noticed about Sup Forums - you think you are the most elitist acting pieces of shits on Sup Forums. I bet you are those anti social fags that wear anime shirts and don't even take showers for weeks and now try to act tough behind the PC.

not an argument

Telegram claims Signal is backdoored by the CIA
Signal claims Telegram is backdoored by the FSB

Pick your side

>starts ad hominem
>gets a response in ad hominem
>not an argument
Elitists dumbasses. I will note that.

>people who don't know what FOSS mean are able to post in this forum

Jesus christ I wanna get off this train.

Check their privacy page. Telegram is not e2e encrypted by default or in group chats. You have to manually do it and only can do it on one to one convo. Even whatsapp is better than this Russian botnet.

Works good, has bots and stickers. Use it daily highly recommended

kys fragile cunt you will not be missed, not even in India

They offered 300k to anyone who could break the secret chat e2e encryption. I use it daily, highly recommended. telegram.org/blog/cryptocontest

It's located in the US.
That's enough for it to be tainted, really.

>muh sugnil
>muh telellele
>not using W I R E
>in the year of our lorde, 1992+25+1

Well, he, for once knows how to type FOSS acronym into search engine of choice.

That contest has been criticised for being inadequate.

1.4 gb piracy channels.
Porn bots.

It's good, there are several porn channels.
Mostly CP, Rape, and human trafficking.
And if ISIS use it, it's good enough.

>Do you actually have illegal things to hide?
Kinda?
How do you define illegal?

>I use it daily, highly recommended.
Is there Sup Forums telegram group?

>1.4 gb piracy channels.
>Porn bots.
Send invite?

Wire is the best option but I'd say telegram is OK of you want something more secure than whatsapp that keeps the nice ui

>Emoji authentication

>secure
>non-free
into the trash

Use only if you are a furry

Fucking this.

novichok literally means newbie. what you said makes no sense

Its about mass. There are people who have to hide something, even if it isnt me, and i think they should have a way of protecting their secrets from the state, yes. But if ONLY people who are doing illegal things use secure apps, the government will know anyway, since normies wouldtn use it in the first place. That is why normies have a certain obligation to maintain their own privacy as well, since theyre protecting the privacy of others by doing so.

He clearly referred to the poison type.

>ex-KGB) are super mad
Found the liberashka. The app's creator is a retarded lolbergtarian EUaboo soyboy who's literally the embodiment of tfw to smart wojak, but unironic.
The fag left Russia, sold VK to corporate boomer shitheads, then built Tg with no support for Russian, got a paper request because of Russia's anti-terrorist act and blew it out into drama with with our government officials (RKN), which attracted the edgy liberal crowd to his WhatsApp clone, so now half VK is unusable because each community is split between vk/tg.
Fuck Durakov.

People claims it's not safe.
People refuses to explain why.
Telegram have announced a bounty to anyone who can prove it, I think the price is 300k USD. No one has been able to crack it and it's been 4 years now since it was announced.
Terrorists uses it.
One of the best features of Telegram is that you can use bots in group chats or any chat.

There's more to say but I don't have the time to spoonfeed you fuckers.

>Do you actually have illegal things to hide?
This. Best security against the such very most super supreme force of evil which is the Government (that was elected through a democratic process in which you could participate), would be not being a degenerate/criminal. Using encryption for regular texting would be like walking around in a mask in your daily life - absolutely retarded and unneeded.
Nothing to hide - nothing to fear, 'nuff said.

/thread

several, some are filled with trannies though

>walking around in a mask in your daily life
You don't?

I'll take the FSB backdoor then since I don't live in Russia and I'm not a russian citizen

cont. and the FSB won't share information with western agencies
now that I think of it, for a western the best place to hide your info is just to give it all to the FSB

>complying with a government that you do not agree with at all

the ultimate cucklery

Telegram is literally shit.

>roll out own crypto
>offer some faux challenge with inadequate info so you can't crack it anyway, but still appear as if you're legit
>claim to be privacy focused
>is able to trace and ban a supposedly ISIS group anyway
>lots of privacy, QoL, improvements requested and suggested
>focus on fucking stickers

Wew. Take a breather

>Hating the stickers

NATO countries cant spy on it but Russia may, and keep in mind this is for the p2p encrypted chat option and not for the group chat usage.

Why doesn't Sup Forums just work on secure messenger apps already?

>he thinks we actually have a choice in who goes into office

Something weird happened to me.

I was telling my friend about a product over telegram, and then that product started being advertised to me on facebook

Is this a telegram flaw or Samsung selling my key inputs?

I'm kind of happy retards think these things are secure, then they get caught.

i've heard the same spiel about skype, signal shill
your newfag spacing betrays you
faggot

Telegram is not truly open source. They use a pre-compiled library for the actual messaging code.

This is all you need to know about how "secure" it is.

Besides, using Russian apps in 2018 is fucking dumb unless you want to be Putin's cock holster.

CIA garbage. Nothing is secure.

>Besides, using Russian apps in 2018 is fucking dumb unless you want to be Putin's cock holster.
I'm unironically trying to balance the amount of data US and Russia get, so 50% for USA, 50% for Russia.

Is this a bait?

>according to sociologists,Telegram users are likely to be homosexuals

Most people on telegram I know are gay furries so that holds some merit

telegram:
>no end to end encryption by default
>no end to end encryption for group chats
>no end to end encryption on desktop client
>end to end encryption uses protocol designed by retards

>US imposed sanction on Russian troll farm
I understand why you are so angry

too busy discussing what's better: apple or android and just a ton of Indians along with soyboy Russians throwing shit at each other.

Well Sup Forums has definitely done down the shitter
