Telegram isn't E2E encrypted by default. You need to choose an "encrypted" chat. They have been criticised over this for many years now.

  Yes I would think intelligence agencies should prefer Telegram over other encrypted chat providers since there's at least this possibility of leaking.

    Maybe this will have the unintended consequence of moving users to a more secure and censorship-resistant alternative.

  Also desktop telegram client doesn't have e2e, only mobile one.

    The macOS client supports end-to-end encryption.

    Which is why I can't use it because most of my messages are sent from desktop.
