Is it possible to do an objective comparison of Telegrams in house encryption protocol? How does it stack up against existing protocols and libraries? Are they better in some way or not? Are they lacking and if yes how are they lacking.

@edwardk Telegram popularity has two other reasons. Firstly Telegram is not listening and harvesting everything that its users do on their devices. Secondly Telegram servers are out of US Jurisdiction. That gives some measure of comfort to many.

📱 Apple's RCS adoption sparks debate. RCS replaces SMS, offering features like longer messages, high-quality pictures, and read receipts. Good for user experience, but security concerns arise. RCS lacks default encryption, making messages vulnerable. Google's encryption in Messages is a positive step, but it's carrier-dependent. Apple pledges RCS support but rejects proprietary encryption, aiming for it in the standard. Collaboration is crucial for a secure, interoperable messaging future. GSMA needs a robust standard with modern crypto techniques. Urgency for privacy-focused messaging. 🤝🔐 #RCS #SecurityDebate #MessagingPrivacy
