    Cool. So that gives people authority to say “if it’s used by signal and is standardized then it should be used by everyone”?

      No, just that it’s a real thing and whatever there is in TG is something bogus.

        Something not being standardized doesn’t mean it’s bogus.

          I think you are arguing against your own imagination. Something not being vetted by someone competent does mean it’s bogus in cryptography. Standardization is an unconnected subject. Most police forces over the world right now are using something standardized, but known to be utter crap.

          I think you are falling for the “genius inventor” fallacy clueless normies love a lot.

          TG’s E2EE is simply garbage until known otherwise. There’s no more depth to it. The reason it’s not known to be broken is that it’s not a high value target - most people don’t use “secret chats” in TG.

            People advertising signal everywhere look like those kind of normies to me too. Doesn’t mean much.

            Fair assumption. But it means you accept most people are stupid enough to not want such a feature or smart enough to not need it. Telegram user base is reported to be 900 million though.

              So where am I advertising Signal?

              I didn’t get this.
