Is this just a legal issue or is there a technical possibility that I'm not seeing here? My device(s) need(s) to download these messages somehow, so how can one government not just tell them to download all my messages in my name? Telegram can be forced to give up data only if an issue is grave and universal enough to pass the scrutiny of several different legal systems around the world.Īs this all talks about non-e2ee chats, how is this realistically possible? All messages are stored in a "cloud chat" so they are stored on the server indefinitely. Thanks to this structure, we can ensure that no single government or block of like-minded countries can intrude on people's privacy and freedom of expression.
As a result, several court orders from different jurisdictions are required to force us to give up any data. The relevant decryption keys are split into parts and are never kept in the same place as the data they protect. Cloud chat data is stored in multiple data centers around the globe that are controlled by different legal entities spread across different jurisdictions. To protect the data that is not covered by end-to-end encryption, Telegram uses a distributed infrastructure. The Telegram FAQ's state that they are not able to comply with court orders from one country alone because they "split the encryption keys and spread them over multiple jurisdictions".
