"Telegram will disclose users' phones and IP addresses to authorities at their requests, the messenger app's founder and CEO, Pavel Durov, said on September 23."

Its over for Telegram. Durov caved really fast too.

Ultimately this will be a net good I think. So many people trusted Telegram when it was never a secure option. Hopefully people will move to Signal and Session for more sensitive conversations, and web3 can move to XMTP finally 🤞

Telegram is still a *great* messaging app (that's why I use it) and I'd argue that most people don't care that much about their privacy since they have nothing to hide

Obviously the crypto crowd is more outspoken over something like this given their shared ideals but I'm not sure it means that "it's over"

Another opportunity for Elon Musk to buy a messenger app

yeah thrown in prison = cave 

will see when/what they do to Elon
