!security Hm, I thought employed e2e encryption? While I guess it might still be bad and made up on their own, I at least assumed cleartext wasn't available on the server! http://www.dailydot.com/politics/telegram-isis-encryption-cryptography/
(not that I've been using the centralised pile of crap anyway, but I just yesterday said I believe Telegram uses e2e comms)

@maiyannah Whether cleartext is stored on servers can be conclusively proven false since (at least most) Telegram clients have readable source code. If you verify fingerprints and never send anything in cleartext to the server, it can't know it. (assuming their crypto is sane, which it likely isn't if it's homemade)

@maiyannah How is Sony related to this? :)
