Fuck telegram. I get so many spam messages there.
Only ever used it for one piece of software we use that decided their support network would be hosted on Telegram. All I get is spam message asking if I live in my own country...

I genuinely don't understand what's wrong with email in this situation? Stay on the phone with them until the email arrives?
If you can't see what would bother me in that situation, me explaining it further will not help, sorry.

great advertisement for signal

Nail no.1 in the coffin for me was when this Durov guy sent an unsolicited telegram-wide message on election day in my country, claiming French interference in our elections.
This is nail no.2 in the coffin.
Guess I’ll get off my lazy arse and delete my telegram account now

I only use telegram to buy illegal iptv subscriptions. Is there a reason I would ever need grok in there?
Yes, because we're only a few weeks away from Artificial General Intelligence, which will create an Artificial Superintelligence, and it'll be just like in the hit cyberpunk novel, Don't Create the Torment Nexus.

In my experience, telegram is one of those "if someone asks you to go on this app, they're trying to scam you" platforms. Flatly avoid.
Why did you delete your previous comment that has the exact same content?

Because I'm stupid (I convinced myself I wanted to say something slightly different, deleted the original, then while writing it differently decided it was better off as is. Yes I know I can edit)

Ah no, I mean the government backdoor. Last we knew, Telegram was threatened, then it suddenly quiet and Premium launches. Fishy. So potentially the federal government has access.
Sorry, I'm bad at providing context. When it comes to another user accessing your messages, you should be right. However, when it comes to the US and Russian governments, its probably getting read already. And we all know what ties and connections Elon has there. So Grok can probably read them.
It looks like telegram under the U.S SCA and FISA acts may be gagged from disclosing government surveillance as well in their privacy policy or terms of service.
However, their privacy policy on secret chats say this.
Secret chats use end-to-end encryption. This means that all data is encrypted with a key that only you and the recipient know. There is no way for us or anybody else without direct access to your device to learn what content is being sent in those messages. We do not store your secret chats on our servers. We also do not keep any logs for messages in secret chats, so after a short period of time we no longer know who or when you messaged via secret chats. For the same reasons secret chats are not available in the cloud — you can only access those messages from the device they were sent to or from.
This would be a lie if government agencies had backdoor access to your EE2E messages. And would potentially line themselves up to a lawsuit? However I am not a lawyer and don't know if there are other laws that overwrite this.

This is good to know. I hadn't read the fine print, because I abandoned Telegram and never looked back. I hope its true and I agree, I also wouldn't think they'd do this and then renege into a possible lawsuit.
