Some people say it’s really privacy-giving and that you should use it as a privacy alternative. Others say it’s alao on the big tech side. What’s going on with telegram, really?

    After doing a quick scan of their FAQ, there’s nothing about who generated the key. So my wild guess is the client. I bet their source code can answer that question, but I have no clue.

      That was a rhetorical qustion. It’s their servers which generates the key. So Telegram has both the lock and the key and claim they are “heavily encrypted”.
