I look forward to the day Telegram users realize how much of a deceiver he is. Durov has such cult grip on them. Also, privacy companies need to STOP listing Telegram as the 2nd choice when comparing E2EE messaging apps. They are not helping. Just a couple of days ago Proton did it again. They are not helping. Telegram should not even be on the list, or it should be dead last. I don’t care how popular it is.

> If you are not messaging friends and family who are likely to have their phones taken by the FBI, I wouldn’t worry about it.
You can’t always know that. Most whistleblowers had no idea that they would become whistlenlowers. That said, it’s not a bad idea to warn them about this.
