      1. When talking abou encryption for chat apps, it’s uaually about E2E…

      2. We are usually talking about open groups on Telegram. I can join them. You can join them. Police can join them. Everyone can read everything afterwards.

      Your connection to the Lemmy server you are using is also encrypted. But I can read your response anyway… So, no E2E…

      You should really brush up on how the internet and computers work, this is a scarily bad way to think about your Internet traffic

        It’s technically correct, the same way Wikipedia is encrypted, because you access it over an encrypted HTTPS connection. Doesn’t make it any less public.

        Telegram is also encrypted, but not end to end encrypted (in most cases), and of course Telegram can see your messages, and public group chats are public. But yes, it is all encrypted. Just not in a way useful to this conversation.
