On a Telegram group chat. In other words, in plain text on a popular social network.

Regulators, take note about how encryption isn't preventing you from finding crimes. (As if the Epstein emails weren't enough evidence.)

was the group actually unencrypted or are you just assuming that because it is the default setting in telegram?

[–] XLE@piefed.social 6 points 5 hours ago

The group is unencrypted because it's not possible to encrypt group chats in Telegram, because Telegram is that bad.

This is the lesson from the epstein files: encryption is not stopping crime from being stopped. Something else is, focus on that.
