these are stupid arguments really. >Russia has huge demand in intelligence operations over the world, and with telegram they know a lot. With this information they can get together facts and make legends for their spies. For example - know who making fake docs, or who dead recently and take his/her identity. Huge field for malicious activity in foreign countries. what does this mean? >Telegram knows your social relations with other people, who is your friend or family member. so does facebook/nstagram/whatsapp so what? >After almost a century of making own people worse as a choice, war crimes, lie and disrespect to humanity, russia still pushing it's agenda worldwide, growing worst things in people. anti-russia propanda, no real meat. >Want register it without phone, just like using app or website on pc? Well, wish you luck, its almost impossible same is true for whatsapp and the most beloved signal, so what? >You can be kidnapped in third world shithole for example, because this information is enough to use. Soviet Union supported terrorist organisations in middle east, sent them weapons and money. Its just a part of hybrid warfare, tool to make opponents vulnerable, spreading rumors, fakes, crimes. Protect your society and security, its price is very very high. uh, anyone remember iran contra affair or the thousands of times US government has literally armed terrorists because those people oppose a legitimate government that US wants out? what if russia is doing the same >What to use instead of telegram? I don't know. Try TOX over Tor or jabber over tor for illegal things (don't forget to use tails os, because this apps saves chats to disk). no discussion about matrix/IRC/XMPP or even encrypted email, apparently this post is about people doing illegal things
