What, that some people can&#x27;t even look at the settings [1] of the client? This is getting pretty pathetic.<p>I really don&#x27;t think people expect complete security and privacy from anyone ever, that&#x27;s impractical and probably impossible. They expect their data to not be used for advertising or whatever and more security than WhatsApp (edit: Wait, it&#x27;s not using e2e encryption by defautl now?), Skype, and the like. The only thin Telegram should be more upfront about is that the feature with all the security stuff is secret chats.<p>I just don&#x27;t understand this mentality. People start using something that&#x27;s not owned by a huge NSA-friendly megacorporation, that is using some advanced security (which will probably be called &quot;unproven&quot; for the next thousand years) <i>along with</i> regular security - and a ton of people get mad, because it&#x27;s allegedly not &quot;secure enough&quot;. What&#x27;s next, people start using Signal and hordes of angry &#x27;experts&#x27; show up claiming it&#x27;s not secure and private unless you make a new identity for every chat through Tor running in a VM on some 3rd world island, using your own infrastructure?<p>If I was only slightly more paranoid, I&#x27;d start throwing accusations of false flag attacks directed from Facebook.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;puu.sh&#x2F;lGpoL&#x2F;f455206b98.png" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;puu.sh&#x2F;lGpoL&#x2F;f455206b98.png</a>
