I had to form a professional view - Telegram is in trouble for its open group chat feature and has zero to do with 1:1 messaging and privacy.  I have no sympathy if you are running a platform for open abominable group activities that land your platform in trouble. The outrage is confected and unrelated to privacy.

Telegram’s issues are more about its open group chats causing trouble rather than its 1:1 messaging. The outrage feels off-base, as it’s really about how some use the platform, not privacy concerns.
