I can’t tell if this is true or a “yo mama” style joke

Looks like that might be changing https://www.gsma.com/newsroom/article/rcs-encryption-a-leap-towards-secure-and-interoperable-messaging/

How do you get around the requirement to run the official app somewhere?

I run a WhatsApp and signal bridge, but not recommend running the official app on a phone

James Hoffmann recently did a series on decaf coffee which culminated in a massive live tasting. I imagine all of the kits are sold out now, but the list of participating roasters should give you a good starting place to find roasters in Europe who are interested in quality decaf

What’s push to talk and why is it such a great feature?

Not much of this makes sense. Maybe we don’t have an equal understanding of private. If thats the case, this discussion is going nowhere.

I will point out, though, that this is particularly nonsensical

Govts are only after Telegram because they can’t infiltrate the company, ask for data etc.

Telegram doesn’t use encryption. Everything is in clear text. Nobody needs a back door to get access. Not even governments. It’s all just out in the open

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make here. You start by agreeing that telegram is simply not private. Then you move on to implying that it must be, because the CEO got arrested?

How does that change the fact that it is, by your own assessment, not private?

To answer your question, the answer from my perspective is quite simple. Noncompliance. If telegram had complied to local laws, like the others have and continue to do, he would not have gotten in trouble.

I’m still confused about people who consider telegram a private chat.

It’s easy to verify for yourself that it isn’t, so how is this still going around?

I use this and it’s been completely flawless from day one. The documentation is up there with the best I’ve seen, and the matrix room always has someone willing to help explain further
