  • Well, if you know the original McDonald’s hot coffee story, it started exactly because McDonald’s meant boiling, while the customers expected merely hot.
    That’s why precision of the language is important, ans that’s why it’s wrong to expect the company to use your imprecise definition of the word, that’s how you get third degree burns from a cap of coffee.






  • My definition of “encrypted” means that something is encrypted. You know, using cryptography.
    Your definition of encrypted means that something is end-to-end encrypted, with only two corresponding people having keys. And we actually have a term for that, it’s end-to-end encryption.
    I understand where you’re coming from, but only one of us using this word correctly.



  • That’s just your misunderstanding of the term. The chat is encrypted, no lies about it, it’s not end-to-end encrypted. Last time I checked they were quite explicit about that.
    So far, Telegram worked exactly as it was advertised, it’s just people for some reason have weird ideas about what words mean and how stuff should work, but that’s not on them to be honest.
    Plenty to criticize Telegram for, but lack of privacy isn’t it.
