Like most of the “encrypted” chat apps, TG was mostly not E2E encrypted, meaning TG or whoever has access to its servers could read everything. Plus there is probably a backdoor which allows the E2E messages to be cracked by whoever wrote the code.

Mr Durov is now blocked from leaving France, and may be forever. Effectively France has seized control of the TG. What they will do with it is unclear.

Maybe TG will follow a similar fate to Reddit. Founder Aaron Swartz pushed to suicide by the capitalist dictatorship. Reddit later blamed for everything wrong with the USA and forced to ban most of its users.

They are out of the times with the rest of the alt-right, who have since moved on from JP, but JP was used by the alt-right as a gate way to “red pill” people. (LMAO)

Maybe if you feign agreeance with some of JP’s idea,s you will find out what alt-right ideology they are attempting to convert you to.

How are they going to verify that you read it? Can’t you read a summary on Wikipedia?

Besides, JP is a benzo addict and his daughter rebelled against him by dating a communist. Not the sort of person one should make a role model.

TG most likely was already compromised long ago. Its based in UAE, a regime subject to USA influence, and probably already has backdoors and/or NSA monitoring. Founder is probably some sort of Westaboo or lolbert.

Most of TG is not encrypted anyway and is no more private than Twitter which many users had previously been on. I note they recently added E2E encryption for some “Secret chats”, but keep in mind that metadata cannot be encrypted. If it is true that Russia’s military is using it, they are very foolish to do so.

On the censorship thing, apparently they have already banned many groups after threats of legal action.

This is known as Dead Internet Theory.

this is mainly because at the beginning there is more variety but over time an optimal meta is found. Every website ends up having the same design now.

It will get worse with Chat GPT AI. Pretty much the entire internet will be flooded with AI generated content and become useless and boring.
