    Telegram, including secret chats, is not blocked because Russian elites happen to use that, too.

      I could put on my tinfoil hat and say if signal is blocked but telegram isn’t, maybe that means that telegram isn’t as secret as they make it out to be.

          Can it be proven that that encryption is what’s used in practice?

          They don’t have reproducible builds afaik (unlike Signal). You can have a completely different code running on your phone than on GitHub.

          Besides, who is using Secret Chat anyways? All default chats and group chats are unencrypted.

            Just use the F-Droid version if there is any doubt.

            Probably Russians who used Signal before.

              The F-droid version is also not reproducible. The binary you install has a different hash than the one you build from the GitHub.
