Re: Telegram Founder Pavel Durov Arrested in France

D:

why would anyone, military or otherwise, use open
channels, public social media for example, to communicate
top-secret/sensitive data,

Telegram's point-to-point chats are not so open, and the
Russian military have no secure messenger of their own.

entrusting corporate criminals with encryption? ...pigs
have wings

So far as I know, Durov has not (yet) revealed the Telegram
encyrption keys to the enemies of Russia, so why would he be
a crimial?

as a casual user of remailers for posting to newsgroups,
"privacy" is a simple matter, because none of the plain
text content posted to these unmoderated newsgroup forums
requires decryption to read;

Where is the privacy, then? Usenet is for public discussions.
