Telegram says it will now turn some 'bad actors' data over to law enforcement

It’s end-to-end encrypted, you only need enable secret chats for that. They are disabled by default because Telegram team is smart enough to give people proper chats syncing (which the majority of users care more than end-to-end encryption). By default, Telegram uses encryption too, of course.

Other messengers, such as WhatsApp and Viber have chats “syncing” with end-to-end encryption at the same time, making the whole idea a scam.

If someone says “Telegram is not encrypted” or “Telegram does not have end-to-end encryption”, simply put: it’s a Facebook propaganda

Well soon it doesn’t matter anyway. Yesterday also Swedish authority’s decided to say yes to implementing EU’s chat control. :cry:

…And don’t believe one word about it being about child abuse

Am I understanding correctly that the email is the user ID in Delta Chat and all my communication stored on the email (chatmail) server? Is it actually an email chat with encrypted messages.

Exactly, it’s encrypted e-mail. And the user can decide where he has his e-mail account. Nearly every ‘normal’ mail account supporting IMAP works. It can be a random mail provider (also a private one) and there is no centralized server. Additional, one can also read and write unencrypted mails to other communication partners, it supports multi-account. But one has to switch between the accounts manually, DeltaChat doesn’t support using two or more accounts at the same time like Jolla email.

Thanks for the tip, I didn’t know this project until now. I studied the principle of operation and I like it. I asked the authors if they are thinking about developing a client for SFOS, they don’t know SFOS. The Linux desktop application looks and works well. I will try to install SMP server on RBPi. According to the authors, 512 MB of RAM should be enough for the SMP server. :wink:
