Ok, we changed the URL above from https://gitlab.com/edu4rdshl/blog/blob/master/why-telegram-i... to https://medium.com/@thegrugq/operational-telegram-cbbaadb901....

At present the OP is nearly blank anyhow.

Thanks. Should maybe put in (2015) in the title as well? It is old and hasn’t been updated.

I stand by my assessment at the time, but I haven’t checked Telegram since then and don’t know what, if anything, has changed.

I think your post should highlight the main idea: Telegram stores all messages in plain-text on the server. Even whatsapp doesn’t do that.

Seems to me like the “end to end” was an afterthought. Just to claim that they can encrypt messages. While 99% of messages are stored right there, and we must trust telegram not to give that data to anyone. Why should we?
