I read something yesterday about the Russian military uses Telegram almost exclusively, and Russia says the French arrested him to get the decryption keys.

yetAnotherUser ,

What decryption keys even, group chats cannot be encrypted and private chats are unencrypted by default and even encrypted chats shouldn’t have the encryption key stored on any servers unless there is a backdoor.

Telegram encryption is not E2EE

themarty27 ,

Telegram does have E2EE chats (called Secret Chats), though they are only one-on-one, not enabled by default and their encryption is dubious.

They don’t. Telegram has keys. Also theres a ton of evidence of backdoors.

For what, exactly? I thought this was common knowledge.

cyberpunk007 ,

You made the claim, I did a quick search

duckduckgo.com/?q=telegram+backdoors&t=fpas&ia=we…

Nothing popped up obvious.

yetAnotherUser ,

Oh you mean server-side encryption? I’m fairly certain that Telegram is already handing out these keys anyway, since every country has laws regarding that. Server-side encryption is worth jack shit

Yes, well the rumor is that the French want them.

Soo is telegram safe? Anyone have alternatives to telegram that has easy to use bots? I use it for all my arr services and home assistant.

darcmage ,

As someone who has never used telegram and uses the arr stack and home assistant, what do these bots do?

I use the HA one to send images from frigate as sort of a “backup” of alerts in case my house is robbed and I lose access to my server. For arr I have it send me and my family alerts when new episodes and movies are added to my Emby server. I run two bots.

cyberpunk007 ,

Ok that’s cool. How do you get arr to do the alerts?

You will need to create a bot first in telegram. There are many guides on it. Just follow the guide to create a bot and add yourself then add the bot to arr.

I also used to use Telegram for these, but have recently switched to ntfy.sh Would highly recommend.

He’s an asset of the kremlin. His status as a ‘dissident’ of Russia is a lie. Just look how up in a fit the Russians are about him getting arrested, plus how it’s one of or the only messaging services allowed in Russia.
