Telegram Sparks Concern Over FAQ Changes Even as Key Language on Private Chats Remains - Decrypt
decrypt.co
Despite Telegram removing a line claiming all chats are private, another part of its FAQ section still retains the language.

Telegram is no longer safe for piracy.

I bet they will start kicking out piracy channels in few weeks.

I am going to delete my account now as it will become useless soon anyway.

    Signal is E2EE encrypted (similar to Telegram’s secret chats but probably better) so it’s less vulnerable. If people know about it they can ask Signal to ban you, but they can’t just passively spy on everything.

    That said, XMPP is better still IMO.

      You can host (tens? of) thousands of XMPP sessions on a RPi at the back of your router or in a field hooked to a PV panel and sim card, and none of “the wealthy” knowing or caring about it, though. The difference with signal is that everyone can do that, and everyone doing it expands the network and makes it more resilient for the benefits of all.
