Hello, I read your blog and noticed how well you spoke about Telegram.
In Russia, many people believe that Telegram transfers confidential information about users to special services. Also, the code that is on the servers is proprietary.
Is it wrong? There are many completely free (not bear) messengers?
Many people in the community the slogans about security and openness of Teleramm evoke bewilderment and criticism of such a position.
Your position is not very clear. I will be grateful for the answer.

PS I do not very often follow the news of the state's struggle against Telegram. If you want to hear more constructive criticism, then I can find more information for you.

PSS After Telegram agreed on cooperation with the russian ministry to control information on the Internet "Roskomnadzor", the blocking of the Tegeram application was completely removed.

The only data that server can give are the data it gets.
What data does it get? You can tell that from the code of the client
program.

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Also,

That is irrelevant. If a server gets data, it can hand that data to a
state. Therefore, the only way you can trust a server not to give data to the state is to make sure the server does not get that data.
That is, to make sure your client software does not send or reveal it.

With a free client program, you can tell what data it sends.
(You can also modify it to spoof that data.)

The encryption is done by free code in the client program. That means
encryption experts can study it and say whether it looks correct.

I do not remember any details, but do any real encryption experts
say that code is weak?

I don't have time to pay attention to "what many people think",
but I am interested in what experts say.

I never try to give advice to people who think that the state
will arrest them if it can find them. I am no expert on that
and I don't know what they ought to do.

My advice is for ordinary people who wish for privacy against massive
surveillance.

Where did I publish the advice you saw?

The GNU Project sees nothing objectionable in the name "master", and
likewise for the name "main".

The GNU Project supports basic human rights in computing, so it
opposes slavery in computing. However, naming a branch "master" is
not slavery. The only thing in computing that is partially like
slavery is the injustice of nonfree software and online dis-services.

​ ​ > It is impossible to prove that developers do not have encryption keys.

How could that possibly be true?

The keys are generated on the client machine, right? The client code
is free software. It follows that users can check whether the client
machine ever sends those keys to the server.

Does it ever send those keys to the user?

I did not know that. That is a serious flaw.

There are thousands of pages in stallman.org.
