There is a possible #Telegram#desktop#RCE being exploited in the wild right now. Some suggest it's on the #mozjpeg library. I have NOT analyzed the exploit myself nor confirmed the issue directly
Es curioso como cambian las cosas. Si bien en 2021 salía un documento, presuntamente del FBI, poniendo a #Telegram por encima de #Signal y #Threema en cuestión de privacidad porque la compañía siempre se niega a colaborar con las autoridades y porque por mucho que se teorice sobre sus debilidades no han llegado a hackearlo, lo que sí hackearon los rusos fueron smartphones específicos, probablemente con algun malware como Pegasus (o infiltrándose en chats grupales), para acceder a conversaciones.
Please meet @wiki_en – a bot that brings you #Wikipedia stats, including daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly top articles, along with the photo of the day.
After years on #Telegram, I'm now moving it to #Mastodon I welcome any feedback or suggestions.
Also, if you're interested in having similar stats for Wiki in your language, feel free to let me know. I can develop bots tailored to any language.
#AI#GenerativeAI#SocialMedia#Telegram: "A Telegram user who advertises their services on Twitter will create an AI-generated pornographic image of anyone in the world for as little as $10 if users send them pictures of that person. Like many other Telegram communities and users producing nonconsensual AI-generated sexual images, this user creates fake nude images of celebrities, including images of minors in swimsuits, but is particularly notable because it plainly and openly shows one of the most severe harms of generative AI tools: easily creating nonconsensual pornography of ordinary people.
In one of the chat rooms in this Telegram channel, titled “IRL Fakes,” the person who creates the images posts real photographs of people, seemingly taken from their social media profiles, alongside their AI-generated porn. It appears the Telegram user does this both to prove their ability to offer this service to potential customers, and to humiliate the women being targeted."
Telegram uses confusing language to pretend it is end-to-end encrypted by default. It is not — you have to enable that separately for each chat, and it only works for one-on-ones, not groups.
In der #FDroid Version von #Telegram FOSS kann man seine Telefonnummer nicht mehr ändern, wenn man mal die SIM wechselt. Der Anruf/Bestätigungs-SMS kommt einfach nicht. Man ist dann gezwungen die Version aus dem Play Store zu benutzen.
Yeah, #Telegram business practices are getting dodgy as hell. I'm glad now that I deleted my account a while back. They want to use your phone as a relay to send 2FA codes via SMS which isn't good no matter which side you're on

Many people affected by the recent blocking of #Telegram in 🇪🇸 Spain are looking for alternatives - especially decentralized ones.
#Snikket is one of those alternatives, and fully open-source. However, our Spanish translations are lacking, which can lead to a poor experience for our #hispanohablante friends.
If you think you could help us with translation, please reach out 🙂
Il giudice spagnolo Pedraz sospende il blocco di #Telegram finché non sarà nota la relazione del Commissario generale per l'informazione
Il giudice del Tribunale nazionale chiede informazioni alla Polizia nazionale sull'impatto che la sospensione temporanea del servizio di messaggistica istantanea potrebbe avere sugli utenti.
> Un juge espagnol a ordonné la suspension temporaire dans le pays du service de messagerie Telegram car il n'a pas reçu les données demandées dans le cadre d'une enquête sur certains comptes qui violeraient des droits de propriété intellectuelle …
Si bien creo que probar #Matrix (en Element, Fluffychat, Thunderbird...) está muy bien, dado que su funcionamiento es más similar a Discord o Slack habrá bastante gente que se sienta aislada o incómoda usándolo y se harte, volviendo a Whatsapp en vez de usar VPN o configurar un proxy para #Telegram.
Otras alternativas para mensajería instantánea segura y privada son SimpleX Chat y Briar, este último más puntualmente.
І знову про #Telegram. Кожна зміна потребує як мінімум причину та спосіб. Чому потрібно відмовитися від Tg вже було сказано багато, тому давайте тепер обговоримо як це зробити. З месенджером все просто — даєте кому треба свій контакт в Signal, WhatsApp, Viber, iMessage, інші самі вас знайдуть. (1/5)
#Telegram is being temporarily blocked in Spain. Will this trigger an uptick in #Signal account registration?
