In turn, director whatsapp heavily criticized a competing app Telegram and classified it as “insecure” to the point of accusing it of “sharing user data with governments”.
will catch the cartwho is in charge of the messaging app at Meta, assured Wired What “Telegram it is not end-to-end encrypted by default”, unlike whatsapp. This will cause problems for users.
whatsapp vs telegram
The claims are curious because, despite years of rivalry between apps, this is one of the few cases where Cathcart himself speaks (usually Pavel Durov, CEO Telegram).
In this case, whatsapp notes that Telegram it also does not provide E2E encryption security for messages. This, according to the director of the application, allows “Telegram be able to share virtually any sensitive information that the government requests.”
Cathcart is quick to link the issue to the Kremlin. “Telegram it lacks the real transparency that most tech companies have adopted.”
“At the start of the war, it was possible to fake the location API Telegram to identify any user within a 2-mile radius if they have recently activated their location,” continues Cathcart, who believes that “Telegram It puts people in danger.”
“Privacy Policy Telegram still claims they never shared user data with governments, but the news says otherwise,” he adds, then notes that he “doesn’t know why people continue to trust Telegram”.
What is E2E encryption?
End-to-end encryption is a method of encrypting messages between the recipient and the sender so that they are the only parties able to decrypt the data.
Telegram It offers two encryptions: one for client-server (common between people and groups) and end-to-end, which is only activated by default for secret chats.
“This allows Telegram widely and globally accepted not only by activists and dissidents, so the very fact of using Telegram do not make users subject to special surveillance in certain countries. We are convinced that separating conversations in Secret Chats and Cloud Chats represents the most secure security solution possible for the popular messaging app,” reads the app’s Q&A blog.
