Telegram:
"We're not Russian, the Kremlin has no leverage on us. Your plaintext messages are safe with us, no need to have end-to-end encryption”

Also Telegram: "the company has said $500mn of outstanding bonds have been immobilised in Russia’s central securities depository”

@fj Not to mention, Also Telegram: "You don't need an audited, sensible encryption scheme for our optional 'E2E chats', have some laughable garbage written by our cryptoamateur CEO instead, and anyone who criticises it is a secret CIA agent!!"
