Not exactly. Non-secret chats are stored encrypted on Telegram's servers, and separately from keys. The goal seems to be to require multiple jurisdictions to issue a court order before data can be decrypted.

"Not exactly" means "completely incorrect" now?

Telegram doesn't store your messages forever and they are encrypted and seizing the servers won't allow you to decrypt them unless you also seize the correct servers from another country

Of course they store your messages forever... They've kept all of my messages for over 7 years now.
