I don't consider Pavel Durov, Tucker Carlson, or X/Twitter to be trustworthy sources of information...
...but I do find it plausible that gag orders could target individual engineers, which would be even more concerning than those targeting an organisation. If a project's leaders don't know about a back door, then not even a warrant canary will help.
If this is already happening in the US, what regulation or law is being used to justify it?
- What regulation or law
  Id guess the 'glock vs your family if you breathe a fucking word of this' ruling
not sure what this guy is talking about BC I dont care about telegram since it isnt a private platform 2 begin with, but he looks like ThioJoe.
This is a Tucker Carlson puff piece converted to text. I was suspicious of the Telegram CEO before, but nobody goes on air with that millionaire unless their message has been fully approved.
Kevin Spacey. Wannabe compound leader Andrew Isker. And now Telegram CEO Pavel Durov sits beside them.
I think he's confused the US with the UK. Over here, companies (not individual employees) can be legally forced to introduce backdoors and legally prevented from ever mentioning it.
Apple recently got around this by 'accidentally leaking' the fact the UK gvmt were ordering them to break encryption.
