Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov commented on his personal account last March of France, particularly X, who was attempting to ban encryption technology within instant messaging applications.
According to Durav, the French Senate has approved a law that enforces the implementation of backdoors in messaging applications.Back door) For police to access private messages. “Fortunately, despite the fact that “three days ago, the Commissioner of Police in Paris defended again,” Parliament refused. “If that was not the case, then if the law was willingly enacted, You’ll have a telegram I left the marketaccording to its founder.
So, like I said, Telegram prefers to weaken encryption at the rear door and get out of the market before violating basic human rights. Unlike some of our competitors, we do not sacrifice market share privacy.

Telegram’s CEO doesn’t mention the exact name of the laws of its publication, but the context and other sources provide clues as to what initiative it is. The initiative also ensures that France will be the world’s first nation and that “citizens will take away their rights to privacy.”
epp (Electronic Frontier Foundation), the pressure from the French Minister of Interior, a nonprofit organization “protecting civil liberties in a digital world,” has not been enough for the proposal to formally advance.
Government ghosts of private conversation
This rear door threatened messengers with encryption technology intended to be used to combat drug trafficking, Looking to sacrifice applications such as signal Or in addition to Telegram, WhatsApp.
EFF states a legal proposal He has now attempted to force a type of surveillance known as the “ghost participant model.” (Ghost Participant Modelin English). The explanation of this model can be found in documents from the government headquarters (GCHQ, UK intelligence agency) that explains the principle of “informed discussion” on how to introduce ghosts into encryption.
At the time of writing, web articles containing these principles are not accessible. However, EFF shares a text appointment for the same thing in one of the articles called “Abandoning Ghost: Backdoor with Another Name.”
It is relatively easy for service providers to silently add to legal agents to groups silently chat or to groups. Service providers usually control identity systems, so they decide who is who and which devices participate. Usually, you will participate in the introduction of parties to chat or phone calls. Ultimately, everything is still encrypted from extreme to extreme, but there is even more “extreme” to this particular communication. This type of solution appears to be more intrusive than virtual crocodile tweezers than democratically elected representatives, and the judiciary has been approved by today’s traditional solution of voice interception, giving the government no power to respond to it.

According to Durav, denial of the law by the French National Assembly was a victory for freedom, but it is necessary to continue explaining to lawmakers that “cryptography is designed to protect the privacy and security of the public, rather than protecting criminals.”
According to Gilbert Lyle’s famous expression, the danger of introducing agents as machine ghosts in encryption It’s not just that governments can use the back door in encrypted conversations. On the contrary, “the rear door can be misused by third parties, from foreign agents to hackers. As a result, private messages from all citizens who respect the law can be compromised,” Social Network X said.
According to Telegram’s CEO, the law was not useful in combating drug trafficking as it was accessible anyway through a smaller, unregulated messaging application.
“The fight is far from over. This month, the European Commission proposed a similar initiative to add a rear door to messaging applications. There is no immunity to the slow erosion of freedom. Every day, these freedoms are attacked and they must defend themselves every day,” Pavel Doloff said.
