Telegram adds option to let users report content on app two weeks after CEO Pavel Durov’s arrest After almost 2 weeks of CEO Pavel Durov’s arrest, Telegram will start moderating private chats as well.
this all seem confusing, there’s no such thing as “private” chats on Telegram, only secret chats which are E2EE, well even their encrypting is questionable
first of, apologies for the late reply… this reminds me of when I ( not so long ago ), used to overwrite random data into HDDs using Eraser, before selling my laptops or switching a company laptop, I hear SSDs are designed to last longer, so that practice ( of writing random data so it’ll erase the sensitive data ), is “kind of” a time waste now… but I guess it’ll make it hard to retrieve that data, unless the attacker has some specialized software and hardware
I wouldn’t trust any company based only on their claims, they need to document ( explain how it works ), develop things in the open ( publish the firmware ), the schematics, even the CAD drawings… like what the folks at System76 and Framework are doing…
That said, it sure sounds cool to have that level of protection, if only Samsung wasn’t a shitty company already ( in my book )
I’m speculating here, but it wouldn’t be far fetched if they designed a secure encrypted clean hardware for the government with military grade encryption as they like to call it, while the end users receives only enough encryption power to protect against normie threat actors like a spouse…etc companies have these policies where they provide a premium/quality products for businesses and governments but cheap or in many cases poorly made products to end users … like Windows Home
