Telegram is not safe from governments. Maybe safe from Western ones.

It does not have E2EE for most things. Which means TG users are not safe from TG owners, and TG owners are not safe from those who are the force behind them.

Maybe it's Israel, maybe it's Russia, Durov's female friend was spotted in Baku in a "cyber-security" center operated by Israelis, so maybe Azerbaijan. Maybe I don't know.

You don't have to know which exactly force that is. All you have to know is how TG works.
