Just a small note: even if Telegram would be encrypted end to end, most people use it with a mobile app, writing messages with the OS virtual keyboard, inserting images/video from the OS internal storage. How can anyone think an app could be private on a closed source, remotely managed, OS it run on it's definitively not?
How can anyone think a damn picture on an Android/iOS/* phone could be considered private? People have Google Photos/iCloud auto-backups and do care about "the privacy of a messaging app"?
Beside that I do consider this arrests much less meaningful than most current press, yes it's a debatable act, but so far Telegram works in France, there is no state-enforced block, in user base size terms it's hardly be considered a significant hostile political/social actor, and actually the government is doing MUCH bigger things against the République and Democracy at a whole than arresting the funder of a messaging services based in Dubai...
