There goes my telegram account. Bye, you won’t be missed
I don't know why people stuck with it. I've used it; I get that a lot of the initial success/hype was:
But your messages are not E2EE by default (only "Secret Chats", which aren't synced across devices)...Telegram (the organization) could always read your messages. I said this so many times and got called everything under the sun.
"Why would they care about my messages though?" ------> Because $300 Million.
This. The second Premium landed I was out, and it was slipping long before that.
Whelp. Same thought :(
