Hey everyone, I'm sorry to announce this, but: This project is frozen for an unknown amount of time. The reason? The new Telegram for Android developer introduced so many bugs it's not fun to develop this app at all. I mean, probably everyone is affected by one of the many bugs in Telegram. Examples: - https://www.tg-me.com/catoxchat/9821 - https://www.tg-me.com/catoxchat/16486 - https://bugs.telegram.org/c/12980 - The well-known memory leak I can give many more if needed…
I know this probably pisses off many of you, but I just had to do it. Having the project be a zombie filled with bugs isn't worth it either. Goodbye - for now…
(P.S.: Go give @OwlGram a try while I'm away. It's a great client)

Telegram and Signal Havens for Right-Wing Extremists
Since the violent storming of Capitol Hill and subsequent ban of former U.S. President Donald Trump from Facebook and Twitter, the removal of Parler from Amazon’s servers, and the de-platforming of incendiary right-wing content, messaging services Telegram and Signal have seen a deluge of new users. In January alone, Telegram reported 90 million new accounts. Its founder, Pavel Durov, described this as “the largest digital migration in human history.” Signal reportedly doubled its user base to 40 million people and became the most downloaded app in 70 countries. The two services rely on encryption to protect the privacy of user communication, which has made them popular with protesters seeking to conceal their identities against repressive governments in places like Belarus, Hong Kong, and Iran. But the same encryption technology has also made them a favored communication tool for criminals and terrorist groups, including al Qaeda and the Islamic State.
Why Telegram?
Telegram has no known backdoors and, even though it is come in for criticism for using proprietary encryption methods instead of open-source ones, those have yet to be compromised. While no messaging app can guarantee a 100% impermeable defense against determined attackers, Telegram is vulnerabilities are few and either theoretical or based on spoof files fooling users into actively enabling an attack.
