"Security authorities demand backdoor for messaging apps"

Dorov revealed information that was known because Russia requires access to databases located in its country, but this is the first time that an application developer of this size has written it on his behalf. He said message app makers are required to partner with the government. "I know this because they contacted us for the same thing on Telegram. Security authorities don't like encryption, and developers have to secretly plant a back door. We were there with Telegram, refusing to cooperate. And that's also why Telegram is inactive in Russia and Iran, and whatsaps ", He said.

"Don't let yourself be fooled by the circus magic of the tech equivalent, who wants to focus attention on one aspect while doing tricks elsewhere," Durov said. "They want you to think of end-to-end encryption as the only thing to consider in all aspects of privacy, but the reality is much more complicated. Another reference was to the hack to Jeff Bezos's smartphone, which was done by sending a video on Wetsap. The loophole was in Wetsap and explained: "The loophole has been present on iOS, Android devices and even Windows Phone. That is, on all products that Wetsap has installed. No other messaging apps were on the iPhone, and if Bezos used a telegram, his smartphone wouldn't be hacked. "

Telegram founder has a clear interest in motivating users to use Wetsap, but he made it clear: "I develop Telegram to be a safer means of communication. Everything I wrote is based on facts, not personal preference." During the announcement, it also made it clear that security germs are in the backup services that Wetsap uses, such as Google and Apple. "Users don't want to lose the information when they replace a smartphone, and they back up the messages on iCloud without realizing that the backup is not encrypted. As evidence, Apple was forced by the FBI to crack one of the backups.
