I wonder if grok will read even secret chats on telegram
Your secret chats are already being read. Hell, secret chats are probably the first to be read.
A secret chat is only for local privacy, meaning if someone got access to your device they can't find them, nor will you get notifications (in case your partner is watching your screen).
Back when we just had SMS and MMS, they had secret chats, too. They were blatantly marketed as tools to cheat on your partner. GO SMS was one of the first to use them. Its not so blatant anymore, but its still the primary use for "secret" chats.
I remember reading an article that someone figured out everyone's GO SMS images (even secret ones) were uploaded online without any security whatsoever. You could put in the url and some random numbers and get any pictures and voice clips ever sent. And they never fixed it even after it was leaked.
So yeah, not so secret. You want secure.
Edit: Context: Sorry, my ADHD gets the better of me. I mean that there's more likely than not a government backdoor. Other users are unlikely reading your messages, but your messages are more than likely being scanned. Just be careful if you use TG.
I thought secret chats were E2EE and weren't stored on servers. That doesn't necessarily mean Grok can't read them if it's not server side, but that's what I'm curious about.

Ah no, I mean the government backdoor. Last we knew, Telegram was threatened, then it suddenly quiet and Premium launches. Fishy. So potentially the federal government has access.
Sorry, I'm bad at providing context. When it comes to another user accessing your messages, you should be right. However, when it comes to the US and Russian governments, its probably getting read already. And we all know what ties and connections Elon has there. So Grok can probably read them.

I’m so glad I don’t use telegram.
If anybody still believed in Telegram's trustworthiness, it should now be dispelled.
(Only kidding, there's plenty of people who still "believe" in both Durov and Musk)

Im glad the EU started early with sanctioning Telegram, it will make things easier now. This is just a blatant attempt at enforcing Russian political influence.
Fuck telegram. I get so many spam messages there.
So.... why don't you delete your account there?
Network effect. It's been hard enough to get friends and family to move away from Whatsapp, it's going to be a while till I get them away from telegram as well

If Grok starts responding with "idk I wanna kill myself" to "what do you want for dinner", I'm quite sorry, those are my conversations. To be clear, I'm not the one who constantly wants to die.
