Telegram is not a secure messenger, it offers the same level of non-security as skype or fb messenger - not even that of watsapp.

  It has different problems than skype, fb messenger and WhatsApp. For starters it doesn't give my raw metadata including who I talk to, when and so on to Zuckerberg, or unencrypted chat logs of both sides of a chat to servers in USA.

    Do you have higher trust towards the Durov brothers and their UK/UAE company ? Because it does all that with them.

      So far - unless I've missed something big - there's nothing to suggest they aren't trying to stick to their plan to keep keys and encrypted data on different servers in different jurisdictions..? And the Durov brothers weren't running a massive ad and tracking network last I checked.

        Don't you wonder how they make or plan to make revenue or do you think they're in it for truth, justice and happiness of all mankind ?

          Yes, I do. I even mentioned it in another reply to you: > There's a lot of problems around Telegram from their marketing to their crypto implementation to their incentives. That said there are multiple ways around the monetization problem as long as you aren't trying to become a Silicon Valley unicorn: - 1 USD pr user like WhatsApp - Paid stickers and storage like MeWe - Extra storage and extra features like Evernote - Paid API access - etc
