The data is still on Telegram's servers, unencrypted. They may be doing ads in a channel/group, but I don't think for one second that's where they're going to stop now that they've entered that rabbit hole.

This is strictly worse than WhatsApp. https://gizmodo.com/the-dangers-of-techs-privacy-promises-1826236005 https://gizmodo.com/the-dangers-of-techs-privacy-promises-18...
