Public bug reported:
THIS IS A SEVERE PRIVACY ISSUE! The Telegram service has several times changed the content of my messages, without my consent. I have recently sent some messages to other Telegram users containing links to Amazon web pages or other commecial web pages. My intent was to ask my friends about their opinion about the respective product. TELEGRAM HAS REPEATEDLY AND WITHOUT MY CONSENT CHANGED THE CONTENT OF THESE MESSAGES, adding very obviously commercial content! As an example: The message I have sent via Telegram read the follwowing: ------------------------ snip: Original Telegram message ------------------------- Mit Punkten oder ganz gelb? http://blackroll.de/collections/blackroll/products/blackroll-mini ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The message ended here, without any other content. The message my peer recieved was: ----------------- snip: Message as modified by Telegram ----------------------- Mit Punkten oder ganz gelb? http://blackroll.de/collections/blackroll/products/blackroll-mini > BLACKROLL.de > BLACKROLL (R) MINI by > Blackroll | BLACKROLL.de > Die BLACKROLL (R) MINI > Faszienrolle:praktisch für unterwegs... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is clearly unauthorized content added to my message with commercial intent. THIS BEHAVIOUR IS UNACCEPTABLE. YOU **MUST** STOP THE TELEGRAM COMPANY FROM CHANGING MESSAGE CONTENT1 If a security breach like that will occur again, I will immediately cancel my Telegram account and I will be warning all my peers from using it. Ubuntu Phone will then be left without a messaging app. I believe you do not want that to happen. ** Affects: telegram-app Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: core (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: core (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1556668 Title: TELEGRAM CHANGES CONTENT OF MESSAGES WITHOUT CONSENSE To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/telegram-app/+bug/1556668/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
