Hello, I have a few questions and I’ll clarify underneath.
-
How does Telegram’s E2EE data look? Could someone that has access to the stream tell its Telegram? Or is that undecipherable?
-
Does Telegram have an official Onion site?
-
Will one’s account get frozen if they are using Telegram’s clearweb sites on Tor?
Clarity:
I use Facebook at work and use Tor to masktheat fact. Fb has locked my account a half dozen times because I’m using their clearweb site. They have an Onion address, but E2EE chats won’t load & E2EE chats are about 98% of what I do on Fb. So I’m looking for a messaging alternative.
If an IT deptartment can’t tell the app is the app, that works best. If they can though, using the website over Tor would be better for me.
Just trying to get things straight before I start bugging people to move. They wouldn’t still be on Fb if that wasn’t hard.
Thanks
It allows more than one computer. Not sure about the phone limit
Its on my phone and tablet, so that much works. I do run the FOSS app FWIW.
FOSS app? Is that something different from the official signal app?
It’s on F-Droid. It’s maintained by Telegram as far as I know. They removed the proprietary bits and replaced them with FOSS. Downside is it can’t create accounts, but that is the extent of if that I’ve found.
Ah, i think we are talking about different apps. Your talking about the telegram app (which makes sense, given this community), and i was talking about the Signal app.
