You're being downvoted because that's not how cryptanalytic research works.
You are missing my point, privacy from data brokers and advertising industry :)

> it is not part of governmental control Isn't that a pretty dangerous assertion in itself? It's a private company running private servers that you have no control over and no ability to tell whether or not an external entity has accessed your data.
Whom should I be afraid of? A private company who or my government?
Pavel seems to be a great person, building a gift to society & mankind. He puts the users/people before himself, stands behind their rights and believes in strong ideals such as freedom of speech and privacy. I don't think you can say the same about many other internet companies/services. If you look at his previous company VK. It is by far a superior experience to Facebook, given how intuitive, fast and sleek it is.…
Are you insane? VK has horrendous UX (best and simplest example: Browsing through image galleries resizes the image viewer so that the next and previous buttons constantly move) And they call it a Facebook clone because it was a direct copy of the Facebook UI, and while Facebook has innovated and polished, VK has been stuck in the same decade-old look and feel. It may be faster to use in Russia because of geographica…

Both, really - there's not really anything the Government can do that a large enough company or collection of companies can't - but the point is that you have no proof that this company is not either wilfully collaborating with or being forced to collaborate with the Government.

Microsoft provides users' information to Turkey. Telegram haven't done something similar, yet.
As far as you know. Why would they publicise it if they did? How can you prove they've not been forced to?

Also if you look at the forums about justice and advocates etc you can see that Microsoft provides user data but not Google or Facebook (except very big and obvious crimes). But Microsoft, oh it is like your best enemy. So my point is that you will hear it (except spying) if it is a legal request.

What are your HTTPS settings?
Facebook defaults to HTTPS, VK does not.
I met and talked with Pavel last year in St. Petersburg at the VK office and I found him very curious, humble, and quiet. I enjoyed it a lot and I appreciate his sense of humor. In fact he showed me their conference room, which is decorated like a medieval torture chamber: http://tinyurl.com/nm7pqt2 We didn't get into the details but I appreciate that he didn't take the standard approach to plain old conference rooms…

You'd be hard-pressed to go around Valley and find a company that does not feature an incredibly inventive conference space. Even IBM's Almaden location has some.

Ah, so you mean the kind of "privacy" that's both the easiest to complain about and has the most minimal impact on your life?
