  • The source is this article.

    There’s nothing in the article that says they refuse to disclose chat contents. In my own experience they often do so when receiving a proper request from governments, providing at least the last 24 hours of messages.

    My comment regarding Roskomnadzor has nothing to do with encryption, but rather Telegram cooperates with them, and that’s why they stopped trying to block the platform. A little bit of reading comprehension would do you wonders.


  • if Telegram refuses to turn over the chat contents (which they do)

    Source?

    Law enforcement can’t just eavesdrop on the conversation without Telegram’s cooperation

    Why do you think Roskomnadzor gave up their blockage plans in 2018? And then made their own official government channels? “It’s technically difficult for us” has never stopped Roskomnadzor before.





  • CSS wouldn’t be used to spy on your network traffic; if they wanted your internet data, they’d have much simpler methods to collect it than CSS (and they wouldn’t be able to decode most of that data anyways in normal cases).

    or who I am accessing it from

    What do you mean by that?

    Suggesting that a VPN could mitigate stuff relating to CSS is like wearing a floating vest 24/7 when flying in a Boeing plane: you might feel a bit safer with it on, but it’d probably be smarter to have a parachute instead.




  • most secure

    Yeah because it’s really secure anyone can take out your cash via ACH or whatever by your account numbers on that piece of paper.

    your account is still protected by the bank for any fraud

    Your bank is required to investigate and such, yeah? And you will most likely get your money back - after a while - if their investigation determines it was fraudulent. But a long process that’d be avoided by having a safer electronic transfer system. And what will you do if the bank thinks it’s some friendly fraud?

    Not worth it. I don’t even like direct debit. No one should initiate taking money from my account other than myself.
