Let's just be clear: #Telegram has proven that they'll gladly accommodate nation states and probably has been doing so for years.

To think that it is secure when all the content, all the messages, are actually available to the company - albeit dispersed across nation states - is false.

#Privacy is #security, full stop. You've got #Signal for IM, #Session as well, not to mention #Matrix for group chats and servers. All have actual, factual peer-to-peer encryption and obvious key systems.
