Репост из: Privacy & Security Goys
In honor of Shut the Fuck Up Friday, I'd like to remind those who treat public Telegram chats like their own personal diary that people are constantly backing it up.
Archivist group "the-eye" downloaded some 3.8TB of content from 184 "anti-social" Telegram chat rooms and channels, including news reporters like @intelslava, @CIG_telegram, and @BellumActaNews, as well as @censormedaddy, @EsotericHitlerism, and @NordicFrontierChat.

looking at the collection a little closer it became very evident just how much data people are spewing into Telegram all day every day. Conversations, announcements, video/image and document sharing- Telegram is used for all of this and more
We have collected and presented the data exactly as it appeared in the publicly open and accessible channels. Usernames of anyone taking part in any of the chat-based channels have been left intact. We believe in the preservation of historical context as it happened. There is no expectation of privacy in a public forum.
