This should prove interesting for anyone still under the belief that Telegram is private. Though I can't say I'm shocked -- while I respect anyone who fights back, I completely get that "you will go to jail and lose all your money" is a hell of an incentive, and I can't say I'd have reacted differently (though if someone wants to give me billions of dollars and bitcoin and a large tech company, I'm happy to be a test case).

I would have a lot more respect for him if he didn't claim without evidence that Signal has a backdoor while his app doesn't even need one... just ask the CEO. He is the backdoor...

Yeah. I do wonder if this also applies to the "secret" chats that are (in theory) end-to-end encrypted (which should be the default but isn't).

Why? Chats aren't encrypted unless you specify you want to open an encrypted chat

Afaict, this is about those "encrypted" chats
edit: Oh, I guess my disdain for TG got the better of me. I assumed with "private" they meant the "secret" chats because it is known that the others aren't "private".

Is it? It says private chats sure, but I believe this is one of those word games where the three types of chats are group chats, private chats, and encrypted chats. As in, I think this is referring to chats between 2 people that are unencrypted.
Not to say I have much confidence in Telegrams encryption though.

Centralized platforms will fall until moral improves.
Protocols over platforms.

This type of measures were to be expected, which is why it is important to migrate to other platforms such as Nostr's Oxchat, Briar, SimpleX, where they cannot censor us or spy on our conversations.

If it is moderated it is like creating another Stacker News. Maybe that is their goal all along. To be a competitor to SN. They must be really envious of SN.

Telegram: centralized, CEO imprisoned and pressured. Nothing to do, sorry; If it must be done, pass Nostr.

It is difficult to bear the pressure that losing your freedom or possessions places on anyone. That is why it is more advisable to be in safe areas like Nostr, a totally decentralized protocol where to attack it would have to be the relays and there are several such as the Bitcoin nodes, who is the CEO of Nostr, the community.
That reminds me of a book called "Fuenteovejuna" where the governor was killed for being an abuser.
When the authorities asked
"Who killed the governor"
The people responded:
"Fuenteovejuna sir"
That's Nostr. It cannot be censored, stopped or blocked.
