Telegram founder and CEO alledges signal has backdoors, they don't provide reproduceible builds, etc.
cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/31431894
> Here's what he said in a post on his telegram channel: > > > 🤫 A story shared by Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter, uncovered that the current leaders of Signal, an allegedly “secure” messaging app, are activists used by the US state department for regime change abroad 🥷 > > > 🥸 The US government spent $3M to build Signal’s encryption, and today the exact same encryption is implemented in WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Google Messages and even Skype. It looks almost as if big tech in the US is not allowed to build its own encryption protocols that would be independent of government interference 🐕🦺 > > > 🕵️♂️ An alarming number of important people I’ve spoken to remarked that their “private” Signal messages had been exploited against them in US courts or media. But whenever somebody raises doubt about their encryption, Signal’s typical response is “we are open source so anyone can verify that everything is all right”. That, however, is a trick 🤡 > > > 🕵️♂️ Unlike Telegram, Signal doesn’t allow researchers to make sure that their GitHub code is the same code that is used in the Signal app run on users’ iPhones. Signal refused to add reproducible builds for iOS, closing a GitHub request from the community. And WhatsApp doesn’t even publish the code of its apps, so all their talk about “privacy” is an even more obvious circus trick 💤 > > > 🛡 Telegram is the only massively popular messaging service that allows everyone to make sure that all of its apps indeed use the same open source code that is published on Github. For the past ten years, Telegram Secret Chats have remained the only popular method of communication that is verifiably private 💪 > > Original post: https://t.me/durov/274

Official Telegram app on Android doesn't allow to send code in SMS
I completely broke my phone screen and attempted to log into my Telegram account from my secondary phone. I downloaded the APK from telegram.org, entered my phone number, but the app sent the code to another device with no option to receive it via SMS. Then, I tried to create a new account using a new physical SIM card, but Telegram still showed 'code sent to other device' as if the account was already registered on that SIM card. When I tried to add the phone number to my Telegram account, it displayed 'this number is not in Telegram.' It seems like Telegram blocks any attempts to send verification codes via SMS or call on Android. Want to know how I finally created a new account? I had to ask my friend to log in from his iPad. Unfortunately, that account got banned and deleted within 5 days, even though I wasn't doing anything wrong or suspicious.

Question about premium
Got an offer for 39% discount for Premium in the app. Is this only for the first year or is this also for the following years? Can't find anything about that. I have 2 accounts in the app, is Premium for both accounts or only the account where I do the payment?

Plus Messenger is forcing users to be subscribed to their telegram group with a way to hide coming "soon." App it's dead and I'm looking for alternative.
Title. Everyone who called them out for this (including myself) were banned or muted a week. Likely they're going to be selling ad space which is why they're being aggressive about this. You can't even archive it which means this was on purpose. Forcing something down user's throat and saying "you'll eventually be allowed to hide it" is what I expect from Meta, EA or Microsoft.
What 3rd party app do you use? Plus Messenger is enshitified and I'm looking to get rid of it ASAP

E2EE Nature & Tor
Hello, I have a few questions and I'll clarify underneath.
-
How does Telegram's E2EE data look? Could someone that has access to the stream tell its Telegram? Or is that undecipherable?
-
Does Telegram have an official Onion site?
-
Will one's account get frozen if they are using Telegram's clearweb sites on Tor?
Clarity:
I use Facebook at work and use Tor to masktheat fact. Fb has locked my account a half dozen times because I'm using their clearweb site. They have an Onion address, but E2EE chats won't load & E2EE chats are about 98% of what I do on Fb. So I'm looking for a messaging alternative.
If an IT deptartment can't tell the app is the app, that works best. If they can though, using the website over Tor would be better for me.
Just trying to get things straight before I start bugging people to move. They wouldn't still be on Fb if that wasn't hard.
Thanks

Does all the TON/crypto stuff worry you?
or do you feel confident that Telegram will continue to do basic messaging well without bombarding you with needless features?
Signal started doing stories too but I believe you can completely disable them in settings. Telegram’s cannot be. And people are worried about them pushing premium although I feel that point is a bit overblown.

Telegram channels can now post stories
From Pavel Durov's Telegram channel (t.me/durov):
The day has come. Telegram channels can now post Stories!
Stories on Telegram are more visible than in most apps, because they are displayed right on the main screen. Obviously, we couldn’t let channels flood users with Stories without reasonable limits: this would create too much noise in your Chats.
This is why we designed the Boost system. With Boosts, users can give their favorite channels the ability to post stories. More boosts mean more stories per day for a channel. Every 24 hours users can reassign their boost.
In the future, boosts will also unlock other features for channels, such as custom reactions, emoji statuses or custom backgrounds. We’ll also introduce more ways for channels to get Boosts.
To prevent abuse, only Premium users can boost channels. It shouldn’t be hard to collect Boosts for channels with real subscribers, while those with fake followers may struggle (larger channels need more Boosts to unlock stories).
Let the Boost Hunt begin! 🏹

Telegram September 16th update: A fairer search ranking system
From Durov's official telegram channel (https://t.me/durov)
🔍This month we changed how searching public channels and groups works on Telegram.
Previously, public channels with more subscribers would appear higher in the search results. That system worked fine for a while, but was increasingly getting abused by spammers. That's why we now only count genuine subscribers of channels for ranking.
For example, channels with more Premium subscribers will generally rank higher. However, if a specific Premium subscriber joins too many channels, they won't give those channels as big of a search ranking boost. Of course, the new search also prioritizes results from your country.
The feedback on this change is overwhelmingly positive. Channels with an inflated subscribers count have become less visible, while useful groups and mini-apps are now attracting more users. 🚀
