Tech Columnist Prescribes Easy Solution to Telegram’s Legal Woes

● 27/08/2024
“If a government comes knocking at Telegram’s door asking for information on a wrongdoer, real or perceived, Telegram doesn’t have the same safety that its peers do. An end-to-end encrypted service can sincerely tell law enforcement that it can’t help them.”
– TechScape columnist Alex Hearn, on the arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov. Hearn observes that had Telegram adopted end-to-end encryption in the first place—Durov would probably never have been arrested for hindering French law enforcement when he landed in Paris on Aug 25.
