I am liking how this time around a lot of people are outright calling the media out on their parroting Telegram's PR bullshit about how "encrypted, secure, private" the service is.

(it is not.)
As in, not just writing about how Telegram is neither of these things, but very clearly pointing a finger at the media and going: "stop spreading this misinformation, you are putting people in danger."
Keep this pressure on!

Yesterday I shared my own write-up on Telegram's failings, today I came across Matthew Green's stellar blogpost:
https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2024/08/25/telegram-is-not-really-an-encrypted-messaging-app/And this blogpost *starts* with calling the media out on this.
Fantastic.
At this point it's clear Telegram has no interest in fixing their stuff. We should not be talking to them, we should be talking about them to the media so that they stop promoting it.
Because as I said yesterday: that constitutes journalistic malpractice.
