Pavel Durov on Signal

maqp:

If Telegram is an op, it’s one of the biggest on the planet.

I’m not sure that’s what I had in mind, more a friendly firm that will collaborate on some occasions where the state asks it to, rather than an actual back door.

Remember most people don’t actually use secret chats therefore there is no encryption on most conversations, unlike Signal which doesn’t have an unencrypted mode.

Also, i would trust more Meredith when she says nothing unencrypted travels in the push notification than Pavel saying otherwise: https://x.com/mer__edith/status/1734320963074797917

Merideth is correct on that, I looked at the source code some time ago and I doubt it’s changed since 2023.
