Telegram began to cooperate with Google? The messenger was suspected of transferring corporate data

One of the authors of the Habr website under the nickname snaker4 drew attention to an interesting Telegram function that appears when

signing up for a Premium subscription. This is the transcription of voice messages and conversion of their content into text. Discuss

According to paragraph 7.4 of the Telegram Premium user agreement, all voice messages are sent to Google for decryption. Moreover, this technology is still developing, so there are no guarantees that the meaning of messages will be accurately conveyed.

Many users reacted negatively tothis innovation, because anonymity is called into question and the risk of wiretapping by Google increases. At the same time, the decryption function is not available in secret chats.

“This technology is still developing, and nothere is no guarantee that every voice message you try to convert to text will be correctly transcribed or decrypted at all. The accuracy and availability of this technology is dependent on a third party (Google LLC, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc.) and we cannot guarantee that it will always be so.
