I think the prosecution will have a hard time, but I don’t know anything about French internet law. But if it’s a weird-ass protection deal to keep Durov out of Russia’s hands, it might just be smoke and mirrors anyway.
French law has somewhat strict laws on how quickly you need to react (take it down, and keep all logs/account info for law enforcement) if law enforcement tells you some account is used for terrorism/pedo stuff. Pretty sure Telegram simply never complied with these laws.
I’m pretty sure that if everything would have been EE2E on Telegram it would never have reached the size and popularity that it has.
I don’t know what you’re saying here because it makes no sense. No one who uses or shills for Telegram thinks lack of EE2E is a good thing, absolutely no one. They use it despite of lack of EE2E (ignorance or ideologically-flavored ignorance).

Plenty of people are showering unearned privacy brownie points on Telegram already. There’s a bizarre Telegram/Signal beef online since forever.
Granted. I was mainly thinking from the angle of “how to I keep the prosecution from having a slam-dunk case against Durov” here.
Also, it seems my expectations from privacy nuts were a bit higher than I expected.

Same here, I’ll admit

i have no idea why people say that telegram is private and secure and whatever, it’s just whatsapp/twitter hybrid for former soviet union people
and furries, for some reason
And Finnish university students.
