Is it the only way to restore your Telegram account?

Ахахахахах, как позвать Дурова в твитере?

❗️ Telegram allows anyone to access “restricted” messages [or the whole channel is restricted].

There are two ways to obtain such messages:
1. When a specific message is “restricted”.
2. When access to an entire channel or group is “restricted".

Scenario 1: A specific message is “restricted”

Even if a message is marked as “restricted”, it can still be retrieved via the Takeout API:
1. Call account.initTakeoutSession() to initialize a Takeout session and receive a takeout_id.
2. Then wrap a messages.getHistory(peer=..., ...) call inside invokeWithTakeout(takeout_id=..., query=...).

This allows anyone to "pull out" the text or media of restricted message.
In other words, anyone who knows how to use MTProto can export the chat and read a "restricted" message, even if it no longer appears for ordinary users.

Scenario 2: Access to an entire channel or group is “restricted”

Even if a channel is made restricted by Telegram (so that ordinary users cannot see its content), its messages can still be obtained:

1. Anyone can execute:

   messages.sendMessage(
     peer = destinationPeer,
     reply_to = InputReplyToMessage(reply_to_peer_id=sourcePeer, reply_to_msg_id=sourceMessageID),
     ...
   )

Telegram will generate a quote of the specified message from the group or channel.

2. To do this, one must “guess” the message's ID (e.g., by sequentially trying IDs).
3. As soon as a valid reply_to_msg_id is found, that message appears quoted in any chat you can send to.

Thus, the fact that a channel is restricted doesn't prevent someone from extracting its contents via quoting.

Conclusion: Do not rely on content restriction in Telegram as a secure means of protecting confidential data. Anyone who knows how to use MTProto can export the chat history and retrieve even those messages that seem "restricted".

Writing teletype[.]in as a valid URL gives spam block 😌

UPD: fixed.

Additionally, to retrieve the whole original message in the 2-nd scenario, you can just look at response of messages.sendMessage request.
Or you can just get the message with quote from any API — MTProto API or Bot API, then use replies to message with quote to retrieve the original message.
It also allows you to download media of original (restricted) message (not only text).

Шанс выпадения этой пасхалки 1 к 1000. Я чуть чуть подправил шансы и вы можете это видеть. Если бы я её не встретил я бы её не искал.

if (Utilities.random.nextInt(1000) != 1) {
    runnable.run();
    return;
}
if (DialogsActivity.this.pacmanAnimation == null) {
    pacmanAnimation = new PacmanAnimation(this.parentPage.listView);
}
pacmanAnimation.setFinishRunnable(runnable);
pacmanAnimation.start();

Он же там еще в прошлом году обещал интервью с либеральным журналистом? Получается наврал? Или кто-то отказался выпускать такой лакомый контент?

Да Дудю он не даст интервью или любому другому ру интервьюеру, слишком много вопросов неудобных начнут задавать, Карлсон не шарит в этой кухне

Elies Campo, a former Telegram employee who has now been rebranded as a “fake” staff member (https://kod.ru/samozvanec-telegram-wired), gave an interview on YouTube:

An interesting fact is that this circle’s (round message) signature “Elies Campo” suddenly disappeared, even though it had been there before in 2020.

Even more interesting is the fact that Elies Campo was the one replying from the email address [email protected] to everyone who wrote to it. The signature at the end of those messages simply read “Elies.” It’s surprising how many powers a “volunteer” at Telegram has—namely, answering from the CEO’s mail.
