👁‍🗨 NYT: Is FSB tracking everyone, everywhere?

The New York Times published → an article about the comprehensive surveillance by Russian intelligence agencies of users on WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram using DPI technologies.

Durov’s Code reached out to the Telegram team and received a comment on this matter:

«While no popular messaging app provides a complete defense from attempts to identify users via DPI, Telegram has developed several technologies to better protect its users from this threat, such as obfuscating its traffic, the ability for users to schedule messages and tunnel their traffic through built-in proxy servers, and additional privacy options, such as disabling peer-to-peer voice calls and turning off "last seen" timestamps. These measures, in addition to using a VPN, significantly decrease the risks posed by DPI.

While Telegram is better equipped than any other mass-market tool to withstand such DPI techniques, we advise activists living in authoritarian regimes to use the tools developed by Telegram and VPN providers to minimize the risks
