Telegram shares pirates' details with book author

Popular messaging app Telegram has provided Indian authorities with the names, phone numbers and IP addresses of channel admins on its platform accused of copyright infringement, LiveLaw India reports.

The development comes after the Delhi High Court ordered Telegram to share the data following a lawsuit by a teacher and skills centre.

Well, that's proof that Telegayram is logging everything you do while assuring you that your data is completely confidential and encrypted.

I switched to this a few months back:

Session | Send Messages, Not Metadata. | Private Messenger

Session is a private messenger that aims to remove any chance of metadata collection by routing all messages through an onion routing network.

getsession.org

Runs over the Tor network.

Signal.

Signal.

Session is the Tor version of Signal. Same company. I only use Session for all of my shady dealings, Signal is perfectly fine for grey-area legal stuff.

Session Messenger Review

In this world of nosy corporations and government spies, it would be really nice to have a secure, anonymous, decentralized messenger app to communicate with. Like many privacy advocates, this is the vision that drew me to try Session messenger more than a year ago. Unfortunately, Session wasn't...

Good.

I'd rather let the Russians have my messages than the 'muricans.

Well, kiddie porn is legal there so yeah there's that too... Same in Ukraine and stuff. They won't bother reporting your gay scat porn fetishes.

They do have end to end encryption as well as the ability to wipe messages.

How does it amount to them logging everything you do and not encrypting anything?

Do you really think Signal and/or Session can’t correlate your username to your phone number to your source IP address? Of course they can, it lives entirely outside the encryption layer.

Exact same way anyone operating any other network can see which user is browsing which website and from which IP address even though the traffic itself is encrypted and can’t be observed.

Not your logs, not your stash.

You have a lot to learn.

There is currently no safe correspondence methods for obvious reasons. All apps, every single one, logs information and can identify a person and also hand that information to any law enforcement agency. You will be naïve to think any single app, website or service will encrypt and keep your information safe and not hand it to authorities.

Lol! I love the responses! If the heading said WhatsApp it would have been completely different.
