No, I wasn't talking about Telegram. I was making a general statement about crappy e2ee startups with bad designs and accountability. There was a recent one using Sealed.io whose name I forget.
Read the story, but did not understood what's wrong with Telegram.
Sounds like a FUD campaign.
Telegram's cryptography is objectively inferior to every other messaging app. It is anything but "tried and battle-tested". The idea of selecting Telegram over Signal to protect metadata is risible.
