@cherti I feel it's worse. Telegram is a mostly unmoderated social network that is purposefully masquerading as and pretending to be an encrypted IM.

What this means is that its users are tricked into a false sense of security and thus put in harms way.

And it also means that the actually secure, encrypted IM services, like Signal, become tagged with Telegram's failings.

Pretty obnoxious if you ask me. But hey, how would Durov get a private plane otherwise, right?
