#Telegram CEO Pavel #Durov visited #Russia over 60 times since leaving the country in 2014, #Kremlingram, a Ukrainian group that campaigns against the use of Telegram in #Ukraine, reported.

The information contradicts Durov's claims of being a pariah and being effectively exiled from Russia, Kremlingram said.

Ich habe angesichts der Festnahme von Pavel Durov aufgeschrieben, wer er ist und was ihn antreibt und bin einmal mehr überzeugt, dass es zwar problematisch ist, dass die französischen Behörden Verschlüsselung an sich kriminalisieren wollen, dass aber Durov nicht zu einem Kämpfer für sichere Kommunikation hochstilisiert werden sollte.

#Telegram and #Durov are once again in the media, so I translated my May piece about the service to English:

Telegram is neither "secure" nor "encrypted"
https://rys.io/en/171.html

Calling Telegram "secure" or "encrypted" is misleading, and is journalistic malpractice.

Telegram itself seems to mislead about it on purpose.

Telegram's encryption protocol is suspicious and transmits cleartext device identifiers with every message.

They have been called out for it many times, and refuse to change.
