privacy

telegram just removed the part about chats being private and not given away to governments from their faq

absolutely. it's about telegram's positioning itself as secure+private by default — it's not. totally understand the UX choice over privacy. it's hard to find an app combining great UX, privacy, and large network effects

mate telegram never was private it just is convenient. any don't be evil situation is.

using Coinbase? convenient
using your own node? can't be evil

using Signal from AppStore? convenient

in the end it's a matter of tradeoffs and for most including me there's nothign secret I have in TG

To be fair, they didn’t remove it completely just moved it over to another part.
