Please substantiate your claim or don’t make it.
If more than 1 person knows something it's no longer a secret. Likewise if 2 people know about the existence of a 0day it's no longer a 0day.
...
Why should I burn a 0day? Who will pay me for it? I'm not stupid and I don't participate in the responsible disclosure circle jerk.
TG is snakeoil: If you use it for anything more serious than hiding an affair from your spouse high chance you get burnt. Especially wanna be terrorists ought to stay clear.
TG is one giant weird machine: You'll notice quickly if you play with it. There very likely many 0days in TG and for sure LE has access to it too. So finding something isn't even a statistical outlier.
People who think that responsible disclosure must be practiced are just parroting the corporate bullshit. Bug bounties hunters are the Uber drivers of InfoSec. Poor fuckers that are pressed into a system that only benefits the corporate overlords. How about starting with responsible QA instead of moving fast & breaking things?
Either it's pertinent information to be entered into the public record as part of your comment, or it's not.
If it's pertinent information you don't get to say "trust me", you have the responsibility to provide information.
If you cannot do that, then do not say it. You will not convince me with mealy mouthed weasel words.

On a more personal note: this comment sounds like the kind of thing I would see on skiddie hacker forums 15 years ago. Please conduct yourself better.
I did not use "responsible disclosure" as commonly defined (apologies for any confusion), simply because I do not think that telling only the creator of the program is responsible - instead I asked you to try and consider disclosing the issue responsibly by making it public to everyone (rather than just Telegram). I consider a disclosure responsible only if both the users and any developers (including these of any forks) are aware of the issue at the same time. I do not think that the way that I personally used the term "responsible" is in any way "corporate bullshit", after all the corporations tend to ask to be the only ones (or the first ones) to learn about the issue.
Everytime instant messaging gets talked about here someone has to bring up how unsecure telegram is. Like someone doesn't want people to use telegram...
Unless you can show me a proof of concept, stop already.
a bit rich from a dweeb that retweets Wikileaks conspiracy theories don't you think?
