    Bro, the fact that the platform provides actually encrypted communication (unlike facebook, etc) is not a downside, that is a great thing to have. People are responsible for their own actions, not the platforms they use to communicate with. This video shouldn't say "telegram is awful because it's secure" but "telegram's security is great, as proven by many criminals using it".

      I think telegram here is not the best option, as it requires ur phone number to register at first. Secondly, encryption is completed in secret chats only(privacy policy 3.3.1). 3. At 4.1 privacy policy nothing is told about providing the data to the government.
      Furthermore, telegram now is much more than a simple messenger, it is being developed in a form of a super app. For instance, there are bots that present chatgpt or midjourney without a registration, you even able to purchase and sale crypto over there. Possibly you heard about notcoin, which was a simple game in telegram, but now it is coin with 2b$ capitalization.
      Overall, telegram is more likely to be in the middle between spyware messengers such as whatsapp or others and more private ones, such as jabber or matrix

    Telegram itself isn't inherently 18+. It offers strong encryption and privacy features, which can be misused for sharing inappropriate content. Additionally, Telegram allows for large groups and channels, making it difficult to moderate all content. While Telegram has filters in place to restrict certain types of content, users can opt out of them.

    What social media website doesn't have a dark side to them? If you think about it you use a bunch of those websites a day and you don't always think about what lies beneath the surface. I feel that it is not necessary to remind you about the stunt WhatsApp tried to pull when they announced that they were going to share every user's personal information, that is what caused Telegram to grow in users. If I were you I would be talking about WhatsApp and not Telegram.
