But Telegram isn’t private/secure by default. By default everything is stored on their servers in an way that’s accessible to admins, whoever buys them or infiltrates their infra - YIKES

WhatsApp is owned by Facebook. Are you really arguing privacy here?

Well the same can be said about email providers …

Yes, but nobody expects modern encryption on legacy services like email. Should email be end-to-end encrypted? Absolutely, but that’s completely unrelated to private 1-1 and group messaging.

Privacy isn't the reason I use Telegram, so it's moot.
