I read something yesterday about the Russian military uses Telegram almost exclusively, and Russia says the French arrested him to get the decryption keys.
What decryption keys even, group chats cannot be encrypted and private chats are unencrypted by default and even encrypted chats shouldn’t have the encryption key stored on any servers unless there is a backdoor.
Oh you mean server-side encryption? I’m fairly certain that Telegram is already handing out these keys anyway, since every country has laws regarding that. Server-side encryption is worth jack shit

Telegram encryption is not E2EE
Telegram does have E2EE chats (called Secret Chats), though they are only one-on-one, not enabled by default and their encryption is dubious.
They don’t. Telegram has keys. Also theres a ton of evidence of backdoors.
Patiently waiting for citation…
For what, exactly? I thought this was common knowledge.
You made the claim, I did a quick search

Nothing popped up obvious.
I asked a question so that I could give you the information you’re looking for.
Can you post a source about either of those claims? I’ve found nothing to support either of them.

Yes, well the rumor is that the French want them.
It’s not even encrypted except for encryption at rest. What are you talking about?
