On November 25, at the urging of a far-right troll, Elon Musk banned the @CrimethInc Twitter account.
Musk’s goal in acquiring Twitter had nothing to do with “free speech”—it was a partisan move to silence opposition, paving the way for fascist violence.

@CrimethInc Oh. I simply assumed you knew. I'm sorry. *blushes*
Well, as far as I understand, the only end-to-end encryption mode (claimed) of Telegram is "Secret Chats" (https://telegram.org/faq#secret-chats) which have to be specifically initiated and... I think don't exist in group-chats(?).
That is why I don't ever recommend people go there... just for the possible confusion.
@b9AcE
@CrimethInc please propagate this: do all people a favour and ditch #telegram. secure chat in there uses homegrown cryptography.
while i appreciate research on this field, it's super dubious they rolled it out to a production system used by millions
#matrix is a good alternative btw. i even microblog on there
@b9AcE
No. Do not use Telegram for *anything*.
See Matthew Green [@matthew_d_green] cryptographer at Johns Hopkins University on the flaws in it's encryption here:

The former maintainer of the crypto libraries for the Go programming language Filippo Valsorda @filippo said Telegram contained "the most backdoor-looking bug Iʼve ever seen."

It leaks users' location data: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/01/telegram-feature-exposes-your-precise-address-to-hackers/
Just. No. Use Signal.
CrimethInc. Ex-Workers
