At first glance you may wonder if they are in fact proponents of the NSA dragnet, but they do conclude that encrypted messaging is a \"net good\". However, they appear very worried about Telegram (domiciled in the UK, operating out of UAE) as a vector for 'misinformation' (quotations because in our current postmodern hyperreality, one man's truth could be another's propaganda or vise versa and discerning global truth is probably impossible at this point).<br /><br /><br /><br />Now, in the cryptographic battle for the security of your ephemeral keys, Signal protocol reigns king (check out DefCon 25 on why MProto is inferior), though no monarch is completely invulnerable to treachery (e.g. CVE-2020-5753 now patched). In Telegram, end-to-end encryption is also optional, and it has a much longer list of potential attacks and exploits.<br /><br /><br /><br />Moxie Marlinspike (co-creator of the Signal protocol and co-founder of the Signal Foundation HQ in California), manages to assuage the fears by reassuring the writers that Signal does not utilize any AI to 'curate' users' feeds (there are no feeds in Signal). The app also currently has a limit on the number of users in a group chat (up to 1000) and limits message forwards to 5.<br /><br /><br /><br />However, Telegram founders are not as willing to entertain New York Times' paranoid musings, so naturally they attract the ire of disapproval (they don't get back to them). This, and perhaps their unfavorable location makes them complicit in the potential spread of extremism (whatever flavor it happens to be), even though Telegram group chats don't support end-to-end encryption. A fact the writers rejoice at, for in their minds it gives US authorities card blanche to contact trace.<br /><br /><br /><br />In this whole discussion however it is worth pointing out an interesting overlooked fact, an implied demand that a non US company enforce current societal US standards of 'misinformation'. along with an assumed international expansion of US federal jurisdiction could be interpreted as nothing more but a subtler form of US imperialism.
