This sounds like a hit piece, ordered by competitors. "longtime drug-dealer haven"- most of my work colleagues use telegram, and I see friends from my contact list joining Telegram from all over the world. I started using it when Putin exiled the founder from Russia, and tried to ban its IP space for refusal to hand over the private keys to FSB. He never had any issues with WhatApp by the way. And I am an engineer, not a drug dealer. Private and group conversations (things that compete with WhatsApp) aren't getting ads.
