Social media app Telegram is profitable for the first time after paying down “a meaningful share” of some $2 billion in debt, Chief Executive Officer Pavel Durov said in a post on X Monday.
Only for one-on-one chat. From what I’ve seen, most of the chats are group chats or rooms or whatever they’re called. No encryption at all, all your messages for any interested party with enough money to analyse.
Frankly, there doesn’t need to be a backdoor, the architecture and security of the app are horrible.
There’s simply no reason to not have e2e. Except if you want the data.
It does. You need to enable it per chat but that’s far from difficult.
Everyone wants messenger data. Doesn’t make it “100% backdoored”.

Yes, e2e is currently only for one-on-one chats available, that’s true.
The rest is on their servers. But they’re not making a secret out of that. They are pretty transparent about it as far as I can tell.
Yupp, that’s not a “backdoor” in that sense. Is there one for the encrypted chats?
I can think of a bunch of harmless reasons, why it can be advantageous to use unencrypted chats.
