Important warning issued by Telegram’s Durov to address the global community

Pavel Durov, founder of the popular Telegram messaging app, which also includes social media platforms, got an account on X (formerly Twitter) and spoke to the community about recent developments that are directly related to Telegram and all other messaging apps in the market.

In particular, he spoke to a telegram user living in France. Their privacy could be put at risk again in this country.

France may ban messaging app encryption

Doloff has expressed great concern about the situation of messages encrypted on French communications apps. Last month he tweeted that French authorities have almost succeeded in banning encryption.

The law required developers to leave a back door to private messages to access police was passed by the French Senate. But that was rejected by the National Assembly.

According to Durov, the Paris police chief has updated the promotion of the law. Durov said that unless the law is rejected again, France could be the first country where users are not protected by the privacy of electronic communications.

He is because even in countries that many believe have freedom, and in countries that have never banned encrypted messages, the only police whose developers can access those private messages cannot give them guarantees.

Durov gives a big warning saying that Telegram might leave France

“Once introduced, backdoors can be misused by other parties, from foreign agents to hackers,” claims Durov. In this case, citizens who comply with all laws will lose their privacy and infringe their private messages.

Moreover, Pavel is confident that the law aims to help prevent drug trafficking, but will not be of much help anyway. “Criminals can communicate safely through dozens of small apps, making it even more difficult to track because of a VPN.”

He emphasized the issue of this threat, highlighting the importance of this threat to the telegrams he has proposed, saying that if the law is passed and approved, the telegram “will “detach the market rather than undermine encryption in the background and violate basic human rights.” Without naming the platform in particular, Durov said, unlike them, Telegram does not exchange privacy for market share. However, the reference has been sent to Facebook, and there is a scandal that occurred about 10 years ago when user data was sold to advertisers without asking for user permission.
