That is the correct default. Every day users are far more likely to accidentally lose their data than to run into government snooping.

If that is the correct default then why Telegram is blamed for having non-E2E chats by default? Maybe they also care about users who can accidentally lose their conversations. When Apple does it, it is good, but when Telegram or TikTok do the same, it is bad and not secure.

  • because telegram and it’s users heavily insinuate it’s comparable to Signal rather than Tiktok.

    right on their front page in giant font they declare “private” and “secure” when they’re neither. it’s telegram’s own fault they receive this criticism repeatedly—and they strangely constantly complain every time they’re publicly spanked and taken to task. theyre heavily insinuating (i call it it lying) to their users and then over and over crying because they get called out.

    if they don’t want to be called out then they should quit insinuating those things, it’s dangerous af. they know they’re lying though, obviously they won’t stop. but omg i wish their users would run fast and run far—it’s like watching an abused person who keeps going back to their abusive partner “oh they mean well”… pffft, no, they really dont.

  • Because Apple is not in the business of hosting public discussion forums.

    There is no crime in implementing or not of different encryption schemes.

It might be the correct default, but it doesn't make it secure (makes it insecure actually).
