It's amazing how Telegram has managed to get journalists to write about it this way, as though all its messaging has end-to-end encryption. In fact, this is true only for "secret chats," which must be activated manually and are therefore a tiny fraction of Telegram's traffic.
@kevinrothrock It's good at least that journalists have heard of Telegram. Apparently politicians use Telegram a lot because journalists know to request emails and WhatsApp messages in Freedom of Information Act requests but forget Telegram. Hopefully this will stop and they'll stop putting sensitive group chats in a platform that doesn't encrypt them.
