Russian authorities have begun restricting access to Telegram, one of the country’s most popular social media apps, as the government continues to push everyday Russians toward its own tightly controlled alternatives to foreign tech platforms.
On Tuesday, the government said it was restricting access to Telegram for the “protection of Russian citizens,” accusing the app of refusing to block content authorities consider “criminal and terrorist.”
Russia’s telecommunications regulator Roskomnadzor said in a statement that it would continue to restrict the operation of the Telegram messenger “until violations of Russian law are eliminated.”
About that… None of these are safe. Signal is not safe either.
that looks like the control panel(?) has full access to the target device already. usually when talking about security of communication softwares we don’t consider this kind of attacks…
yeah, if they get full access to your device no amount of end to end encryption will avoid that
no matter how secure the chat app protocol is, as long as one of the users in the chat is compromised they can access to those chats
is anything safe?
Only the federated networks, no one controlling entity nor country, best part is open source, because we the people, get to say what goes, and what doesn’t.
