There was just a fine on telegram yesterday for not "complying" with Russian authorities which is another proof they are doing great. https://tass.ru/obschestvo/20188921

It happened too many times but I can't find a single case, please enlght me. I will use telegram because it have a lot of features, good ui and easy to use

1. Show me the proof, don't talk on hunches
2. They really didn't care, they are banned in Iran too which is their 3rd biggest market. They got unbanned because Russia failed to unban it, there are no cases known yet in which telegram handed over users data to Russian authorities https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN23P2DY/
3. I am not Russian

proprietary, why did they mention that if they wanna marketing broo

I never got with these russian authority claims. Telegram is not based in russia, sure its founders are born in russia but they have taken citizenship of France for a long time now, its based in saudi arabia. I never saw a single proof of them giving data to russian authorities, they were banned in russia for that iirc but eventually got unbanned due to mass adoption. At this point these russian claims just seem racism to me.

Basically they are copying whatsapp..

nitpicking by avg signal fanboi.

OTOH telegram gives you option to export your whatsapp chats there making migration a bit more convenient. For the last point, yeah it sucks a lot and fuck whoever is responsible for that...

only if you are terrorist or do some CP stuff. Besides there are ton of reasons why I should use telegram. Its a lot more featureful, its easy for people to move their and its secure enough for me because I am not a terrorist and I dont sell drugs, thanks.

e2ee by default only for your data to be used when you back it up. Atleast there have been no data breaches reported in telegram so far

Sure, but we have to consider what other people wants too, and if they are getting alot of feature in a single app without any big compromise, they would prefer that and thats perfectly logical.
